Understanding that we may not understand why we do the things we do is patience. In patience we learn to accept our self for doing the best we could while allowing space for learning and growth. Only when we practice patience with ourselves can we apply this virtue to a loved one. A loving relationship is a mutual exchange of patience and if patience is the cornerstone of unconditional love then acceptance is the foundation of a loving relationship.
