4. Meyer also points out that a person can't truly love others until they learn to love themselves, and that people should "believe that God loves you with an everlasting love, and then share that love with others."

5. Love is also not free and requires great sacrifice from both parties. According to Meyer, "each time we choose to love someone, it will cost us something" and that we should understand the cost ahead of time.

7. Meyer says the greatest gift in the world is love and God's love is His greatest gift to us. She emphasizes that "loving and being loved are what make our lives worth living."

8. Love also isn't just a word, but an action undertaken by individuals that makes the world a better place. Showing love is what is important and it is something that is ever changing, as Meyer writes that "I've learned that true love will always adapt and adjust to the needs and desires of other people."
