Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

strength to love - we need to be strong enough to have strike a balance in how much we love someone!. particularly strength to hold back sometimes so we don't get hurt, no matter how we feel about a person

courage to be loved - courage to let someone into our heart, rather than fearing we'll get hurt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It takes faith and assurance to love, and faith and inspiration to be loved !.!.!.

Love is logical and reason!. We create our desires and become the architect of the perfect love!.

Example!. Man and woman!. Man is peaceful and reasonable!. Woman seeks attentiveness but is impervious to any love man may require!.

Woman throws tantrums and creates discord to gain attention, or give blame or excuse for her ruefulness!. Man resents being manipulated thus, and withholds his full affection, giving enough only to suffice and appease than revere or comfort!.

Woman fuels his ire by accusations of his insensitivity toward her need!. Man cannot say he too requires comfort, support and love and the needful to dominate woman should lead by example and expect no more than she gives!.

Woman casts herself upon him, but man remains misunderstood!. Woman is loved but discomforted!. The language of love requires not only articulation but sensitivity and complete freedom of will to be absolute!. Otherwise it becomes a trade off, a give and take, a transaction!.

Man concedes and gives of his spirit to woman, woman becomes smug and arrogant in her subjugation of him!. Man is so repelled he vows to maintain his defence in future yet yearns to find one he can love unstintingly and equivocally!.

Some men admit to conceit if a woman bows overt adoration!. It is an Oedipus complex!. Mother’s boys are indulgent, they who feel they were unprotected in their formative years, refuse subconsciously the attentions and love of women, preferring to adopt the servile stance!.

This gridlock situation can be broken by understanding !.!.

That is true Love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That makes quite a lot of sense, I guess being loved makes us vulnerable in a lot of respects, opening up to another person, letting them see us as we are, without a front!. If people can do that it's very brave!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
