CHECK THE LEVEL OF YOUR LOVE LIFE!!

I Corinthians 13:4-8,   14:1(Amplified)
Love endures long and is patient and kind;  love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not display itself haughtily.  Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking:  it takes no account of the evil done to it (it pays no attention to a suffered wrong).
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything (without weakening).
Love never fails (never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end).  As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away;  as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away (it will lose its value and be superceded by truth).
I Corinthians 14:1 says to eagerly pursue and seek to acquire (this) love (make it your aim, your great quest…It is not easy to “pay no attention to a suffered wrong.”   The wrong may be real, but the love we need to have overlooks and forgives any offense.  Then we must “believe the best of every person.”  Even the one who just “wronged” us.
