treat others the way you want to be treated etc....but truthfully you should be treating others the way THEY want to be treated, not necessarily the way you would want to be treated. Thats where part of my failure lies, but again, now I recognize it.
Yeah, I think you're dead on. I read something once like "real love is recognizing how your spouse defines real love, and giving it to them" and that really struck a cord with me.
