I need to be loved by someone who chooses to love me, who sees in me something worth loving. That kind of love requires effort and discipline. It is the choice to expend energy in an effort to benefit the other person, knowing that if his or her life is enriched by your effort, you too will find a sense of satisfaction—the satisfaction of having genuinely loved another”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Gary Chapman" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/gary-chapman/research-seems-to-indicate-that-there-is-a-third-and-better/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/078/gary-chapman-1325_fall-in-love_research-seems-to-indicate-that-there-is_3227580.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/078/gary-chapman-1325_fall-in-love_research-seems-to-indicate-that-there-is_3227580.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/078/gary-chapman-1325_fall-in-love_research-seems-to-indicate-that-there-is_3227580.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Research seems to indicate that there is a third and better alternative: We can recognize the in love…” — Gary Chapman", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/recognize-love/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/recognize-love/", "name": "Recognize Love Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/recognize-love/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ae5/thomas-merton-231_be-grateful_to-be-grateful-is-to-recognize-the-love_776130.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 14 Recognize Love quotes by 13 authors.
