Get the love part right: It's about knowing each other, sacrifice and sticking around on bad days

Roses fade and chocolate melts. Sometimes, as the songs go, love stinks, love bites and love hurts. Ahead of Valentine's Day, how can we get the love part right with anyone we care about — romantic partners, parents, children, pets, and even ourselves? It's a universal question that has been written about and debated for centuries. St. Thomas Aquinas taught that “to love is to will the good of the other." The Associated Press wanted to know how people around the world try to love well in contemporary life. The answers ranged from paying close attention and sticking together on tough days to making the bed every day because it pleases a partner.
