Did you have any idea what you'd do if you did, or was it all bluff?
Of a truth, when we love someone we want what he/she wants.
The kid who loves the other kid agrees to play the game he wants to play. If the wife wants the bedroom painted, the loving husband will find a way.
And the child who loves her mom and dad doesn't put up a fight when told to do her homework, clean her room, etc.
The principle is most important in our Christian walk. When we keep the one and only Great Commandment to love God with all our hearts, souls and minds (Matt 22) we really do mean it when pray "Our Father ... thy will be done..."
