love is
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy.it does not boast,it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self seeking,it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails. Pure action

Demonstrating Love
Well said, but I think it's really about demonstrating love rather than a definition of love.

Simple and to the point! Great!
The above summary line says it all.
Patience, give and take and understanding in any relationship is part of the "what is important to you is important to me".
