Loves does not behave itself unseemly. It doesn’t act improperly or inappropriately.
This phrase intrigues me. What does it mean that love never behaves improperly?
I think the idea here is that love is only done for love’s sake. Love is never done in order to get. If we love hoping for something in return it is not really love is it? It is actually payment.
Perhaps another way to put this is that love is not manipulative. I think we all know what that means. If we act in a seemingly loving way, but our actual goal is self benefit we make a big mistake. Love should never be pragmatic in our homes or anywhere else. True love has the right motivation and is only done because we love the other person.
Sure, we can act in ways that seem loving, but if it not with the right heart can we call it proper love?
