Another proverb says
"Love is blind."
In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Here is another popular saying about love:
"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
Some people believe that a woman can win a man's love if she prepares his favorite foods.
Some people are only interested in having a relationship with someone who is very good-looking. You might tell them that
"Beauty is only skin deep."
Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities. Or the opposite may be true. Your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good-looking. So what a person looks like is not really important.
Another proverb is true in love and war or other situations:
"Actions speak louder than words."
It means that what you do is more important than what you say.
Sadly, we have no more time for this program. So we must say,
"All good things must come to an end."
