1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love accepts long suffering and is kind. It does not concern much of its wellbeing or its right, but the wellbeing of others. Thus it can bear all difficulties, can keep its beliefs in all circumstances, can keep its hopes against multiple setbacks, and can endures all pains and sufferings.

Love derives joy & happiness not in its wellbeing and success, but in the wellbeing and success of others, its loved ones. That's the key of its strength and energy.

So the way of love is:

Love is patient, love is kind.

Love does not envy or boast.

Love is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not irritable or resentful. Love does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
