text: how do we know if one person loves the other person.?   often the person who is in love will be willing to give up his/her happiness in order to make the other person happy. take for instance the loving relationship between husband adn wives when it comes to time management. when the wife sees that her husband is depressed, she would be willing to give up her precious time (which could have been used for laundry, spas, cleaning, etc) to give comfort to him. atleast, that is what ought to happen.
