“If we would truly seek to be more like our Savior and Master, learning to love as He loves should be our highest goal.” -President Ezra Taft Benson
"Your success in marriage will depend largely on your ability to focus on improving yourself, rather than trying to reshape your spouse. It will depend more on being the right one than finding the right one." -Elder Lynn G Robbins
“What is love? Many people think of it as mere physical attraction and they casually speak of ‘falling in love’ and ‘love at first sight.’ This may be Hollywood’s version and the interpretation of those who write love songs and love fiction. True love is not wrapped in such flimsy material. One might become immediately attracted to another individual, but love is far more than physical attraction. It is deep, inclusive and comprehensive. Physical attraction is only one of the many elements, but there must be faith and confidence and understanding and partnership. There must be common ideals and standards. There must be a great devotion and companionship. Love is cleanliness and progress and sacrifice and selflessness. This kind of love never tires nor wanes, but lives through sickness and sorrow, poverty and privation, accomplishment and disappointment, time and eternity.” -President Spencer W. Kimball
“Love, as defined by the Lord, elevates, protects, respects, and enriches another. It motivates one to make sacrifices for another.” -Elder Richard G. Scott

I really like that quote by President Kimball. That's the sort of quote I needed to hear. :)
