Love Lessons from the Stage?

I was struck by having seen three separate plays this week that offered lessons about love -- and one of them was David Mamet's The Anarchist! So I asked on Twitter: Have you learned anything useful about love from a show? What was the show, and what was the lesson?
I got some surprising answers, and so I'll ask it here again.

Monica Bauer says she learned about love from “Death of A Salesman,” which “taught me that love survives even after respect is gone: Biff will always love Willy, as Willy loved Biff.”
Rebecca McNew says that both “Les Misérables” and “Phantom of the Opera” taught her about “love that forgives regardless of wrongs.”
