Love Always

Definition

Love Always is the intentional practice of continually choosing the Child’s long-term flourishing.

Plain-language meaning

Love remains the purpose of every practice, including correction, boundaries, teaching, patience, and release to agency.

What it is not

• Not permissiveness
• Not sentimentality
• Not avoiding correction
• Not accepting destructive behavior without accountability

Why it matters

Love Always gives purpose to The Nine. Without love, even correct practices can become control, pride, or technique.

Example

A father remains committed to his child’s flourishing after failure, making correction clear while keeping belonging secure.
