Love is overcoming ego. Everyone brings their own baggage into a relationship and that baggage inevitably interferes in the relationship to various extents.
When I hear the phrase, "You've got to love yourself before you can love another," I take it to mean you have to learn to deal with your issues and your own ego before being able to freely give yourself to another person.
We are all symptoms of ourselves. Love is symptom-free.
