Answer: By listening to them and finding out what they want.
Question: How do you prove your love for them?
Answer: By doing what they want.
What about Jesus the Messiah?
Question 1: How do you know if you love Jesus?
Answer 1: By wanting to please Him.
Question 2: How do you know how to please Him?
Answer 2: By reading HIS Words in the gospels and listening to his Father's voice in prayer to find out what He wants.
Question 3: How do you prove your love for Jesus?
Answer 3: By doing what He says.
Do you love Jesus? Jesus says, "If you love Me, you will obey what I command" John 14:15
You communicate with the one's you love, right? Well, if you love Jesus, then you will communicate with him by reading HIS Words in the gospels (His communicating to you) and by talking with him through prayer (your communicating to him).
Do you love Jesus? If you don't know his Words in the gospels, then you have no interest in pleasing him. And if you have no interest in pleasing him, they you cannot please his Father, God the Most High. If you have no interest in pleasing him, then you don't love him and you don't love God. Don't deceive yourself...
As an example of true love and communication, if your husband or wife or children have to go overseas for business or some service, will you stop loving them? Of course not! Will you want to communicate with them? Absolutely yes! How will you do that? Probably through a letter, right? If your loved one writes to you, will you read the letter? Of course you will, right?
Well, Jesus, God's Son had some men write a love letter to you, called the gospels. If you miss him and love him and want to see him, then you'll read his letter to you right? Of course. Are you regularly reading his love letter to you - the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? As you read his Words, do you long to do what He says? If you are not reading his Words, or are explaining them away, then you don't love Him. Don't deceive yourself…

by placing another wants needs and desires above ones own. by remembering and emulating GOD'S love for us towards the loved one.

First of all, you aren't supposed to answer your own questions. Second you answered it wrong, loving someone isn't just pleasing them, cuz you have to please your boss, how many of us love our bosses? To truly unconditionally love some one, you would lay your life down for theirs. Now you can only know that the day you are tested, you cannot predict what you will do in the moment. But Jesus said, " the greatest love is man laying down his life for his friends," Not his family cuz I would think it would be easy for my family. But your friends?? Courage is a challenge & a privilege, not just a word. And yes I do read his word, esp on Sundays.
Thirdly, I think you are a li'l condescending the way you presented this, following and living God's words doesn't mean you have to constantly read the bible. As long as you know the commandments and consciously don't sin, you are on the right track. God bless us all.

You only can love some one when you can see and touch them. You only can love some one when you can look them in the eyes. You only can love some one when there is a real two way communication. If it is one way [from you to the object of your love] it is a fantasy or a fixation. Read and learn; http://www.godisimaginary.com/

Wanting to please someone is NOT love. I want to please my boss. Do I love her? No. I love my friend who is a drug addict. Nothing would please him more than drugs. Am I giving him drugs? No.
Love is something very, very different from that.
