Love simplifies
Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another,
for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8
Love ulitmately fulfills every law of God. It persuades us to live out all that is good and forbids us from doing all that is evil. Every act of hatred, subtle deception, or plot of unfaithfulness is vetoed when love takes command in our hearts. Love toward God leads us to obey Him and uphold His rightful place of honor in our lives. If we do so, we will by default not sin against His name. Love toward others transforms our behavior for the better and defuses evil intentions like light dispels darkness.
Men who lead by love won't deceive or degrade their wives or their neighbors. When love fills a woman's mouth, she encourages her family instead of tearing them down. When you're focused on love, you will naturally demonstrate patience, tenderness, and kindness. Rather thanb trying to manufacture right actions, let love become your first response and your default position. Then you're set to launch into any circumstance graciously and to land with no regrets.
