I believe the point is multifaceted:

1. Relationships are hard.

2. If you take a step back and look at the things you argue with your significant other about (or anyone else close to you), it's humbling to see how silly it often is.

3. Love doesn't always agree; if you actually hated the person, why would you stick with them through the annoyances and arguments instead of leaving?

Sure, the whole thing seems unhealthy and petty, but I think that he would have stopped writing a lot sooner if he didn't truly love her. I also think the slightly-hidden image at the very bottom left of the page says a lot more than any of his words do.

One piece of advice I got from an old family friend when getting married two decades ago ... the next time you find yourself arguing with your spouse, when you feel that slight bit of anger or annoyance bubbling up, lift your shirt up and show them your belly button. You don't have to stop talking, just lift your shirt up and show your belly button while you're making whatever point you are making.

I've tried this a few times and it works wonders - doing something silly makes me stop and realize how silly the argument I'm in is.

Just my 2c, but hate isn't the opposite of love. Apathy is the opposite of love.
