What do you think about defining love as "the will for the actualization of the best potentials of the loved"?

It's alright, just make sure it doesn't turn the exercise into "What she's supposed to be according to you". Oh, and keep her happy while doing it because if she gets miserable in the process you're gonna pay ;)

Well, the point of "best potentials" is that it is what is actually best, not necessarily what the lover believes is the best.

Well, it applies to children but perhaps not as well to adults. We may only think we know what's best for another person so just be careful.
