Love requires patience, perseverance, and forgiveness from "summary" of The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm

Love, as a deeply complex emotion, demands much from those who choose to embark on its journey. One must possess the virtue of patience, as love cannot be rushed or forced. It requires time to grow and develop, like a seed planted in fertile soil. Just as a gardener must patiently tend to their garden, nurturing it with care and attention, so must one patiently cultivate their love, allowing it to blossom and flourish. Moreover, love necessitates perseverance, as it is not always smooth sailing. There will be challenges and obstacles along the way, testing the strength and resolve of the lovers. In these trying times, one must persevere, refusing to give up when the going gets tough. It is through perseverance that love is able to weather the storms that inevitably come its way, emerging stronger and more resilient than before. In addition to patience and perseverance, love also calls for forgiveness. No relationship is perfect, and mistakes will be made. It is essential to be able to forgive one another for these transgressions, to let go of resentment and anger, and to move forward with a clean slate. Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to the strength of the love that binds two people together. When one possesses the qualities of patience, perseverance, and forgiveness, they are better equipped to navigate the complexities of love. These virtues serve as the foundation upon which a healthy and enduring relationship can be built. In a world that is constantly changing and evolving, love remains a steadfast force, requiring a steadfast commitment from those who seek to experience its transformative power.
