Live the truth and trust the Lord that when you have done all you can, He will come to your rescue.
Love is largely an eternal commitment to think of and help someone else--especially a wife or husband or child--more than yourself. If we keep helping others regardless of their reciprocation, our soul keeps expanding, and eventually we can become like unto God, helping others with no limits.
To me the opposite of love is not hate but selfishness, or indifference. Selfishness shrivels the soul. Constantly thinking of and protecting ourselves causes us to become smaller. If we persist in this, we eventually shrink down to practically nothing.
A good sign of how truly we love someone is how anxiously we help them--even at the expense of our own convenience.
The truest love of all is the Savior's love and God's love for us. Think of the Savior's commitment to suffer for us and even to lay down His life for us, despite the almost total lack of appreciation of those around Him at the time.
