Loving the lovable parts of your partner is easy. He's funny, charming, smart, successful, and kind. He's perfect. Except for when he is not. Like when he is late. Or short-tempered. Or impatient.

Or loved enough. Tremendous empowerment and liberation come from loving someone - and being loved - for who we really are.
