True Love Meaning – 41 Little Things Lovers Do That Define Love

You hear some friend of yours saying “It’s true love.” But true love meaning what? We have all seen movies (I’m assuming) based on one true love where the characters meet, part ways and then find their way back to each other because they realize they are incomplete without one another. But movies often raise the bar which we commoners find difficult to meet in our real lives. After all, who can afford jumping on a plane without applying for a visa in advance to meet the lover in another continent right? Also, money! Movies or real life, can’t afford that too. But is that what it really means to be truly in love? No! I would say that the real ‘true love meaning’ lies in the little things you do for each other every day without expecting anything in return.

So true love has different meanings for us all. It doesn’t always have to be a grand gesture. True love is what you think it is for you. It isn’t what you see in films or read in books. It is what you let it be. It is when you two are together, happy with each other and willing to live together for the rest of your lives. It is when you accept one another for who you are not what you want them to be.
