How do you become a love doctor?

Well, that depends on your definition of love. First you must determine specifically what kind of love you are referring to. Then, you must understand that area of love by definition. The strength of your knowledge, its durability, and applicable nature will depend on the strength of that knowledge, and the strength of that knowledge can only be found in its definition. In other words, if you are studying psychology because one of your aspirations is to become a psychologist, then you first have to know what psychology is, and be able to understand it by definition. If your are studying architecture because you one day hope to become an architect, you first have to understand what architecture is, and be able to understand it by definition. Then, everything you study within the area of love, must always relate back to its definition either directly or indirectly. Thus, are we talking about physical, emotional, altruistic, self centered, common, uncommon, exceptional, general, relating to profession, pleasure of types, specific, extended, the tangible or intangible. Not so easy huh? So, once you have made your decision as to what type of love you are referring to, get back to us!
