How much love you will give

If you are not willing to give to the person your ostensibly love, then you do not really care about them. Of course, not all giving is an expression of love. The workaholic husband who gives money but begrudges his time is an obvious example. Giving in a loving way means contributing what the other person wants or needs, not what happens to come easily to you. Knowledge is needed since ignorance of the other person's needs may sabotage your giving. Nor is horsetrading - I give this if you give that - an expression of loving.
