True love heals and affects spiritual growth. If we do not grow because of someone else's love, it is generally because it is a counterfeit form of love. True love is unconditional positive regard. Unconditionaly postive regard allows us to be whole and accept all the parts of ourselves. To be whole, we must unite all the shamed and split-off aspects of ourselves.
