There’s fake romantic comedy love that is shown to us in movies, TV shows, and advertisements. Then there’s how Cardinal Sarah eloquently defines it:
"Love, by its essence, involves a leap into the unknown, a death to oneself, because genuine love is a love that loves to the end.
And to love to the end means to die for those whom you love. It also means to forgive them. This involves the experience, one day or another, of the Cross and, therefore of sacrifice, which will seal the spouses' unity definitively.”
