About This Quote
True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one's companion. Love is a mutual commitment, a promise between two people to do good and help each other. Love is also a mutual commitment to be available for each other when needed most. True love requires that we care for our loved ones, not only in the here and now, but also in the future when both of us may be old and frail. We cannot promise lifelong support if we cannot even offer it today.
