"Moreover, the love of woman is more disinterested. Man loves woman more for his own sake than for hers; woman, on the contrary, loves man less for her own sake than for his. Man because he is not sufficient in himself, loves that which has been given him of God; woman, because she feels that she is needed, loves him to whom God has given her. If solitude weighs heavily upon a man, it is because life has no charms for him when he is separated from his help meet; if woman dreads living alone, it is because life has lost it's aim, while she has none to whom she can be 'a help meet.' Of her it may be said, if we may be permitted to make the comparison, in the emphatic language of Scripture, 'we love her because she first loved us.'"

Love... it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:6-7
