What Is True Love? Rabbi Zamir Cohen in English (AI)

what does it mean to love let's delve a bit into the depth of the word love we have previously seen my Mon's words in his guidance on relationships myON says there are instructions for the husband and instructions for the wife in the instructions for the husband he says the sages commanded that a man should respect his wife more than his own body and love her as he loves his own body in all matters concerning respect according to Jewish law the man is supposed to respect his wife more than himself like with clothing if there is no money to buy for both him and her then she takes precedence because clothes respect the person respect his wife more than his own body love her as his own body to love her my Mon's language as is well known is very precise he does not say to love her as himself he says as his own body why myones teaches what love essentially is when a man says to his wife I love you it's easy to say that those are just words what backs up those words how do you apply love manoni says look at how you behave with your own body because you love it everyone loves their body so they nurture the body they are attentive to the body's needs if it hurts they take care of it hungry they go to eat thirsty they look for something they can drink attention to the body's needs to love your wife means to be attentive to her needs
