Simplified meaning
When people are in love, they often don't notice the flaws or faults in the person they care about. It's like looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. This can mean they overlook or ignore their partner's mistakes or bad behavior because their feelings are so strong. Imagine a friend who always talks about how amazing their boyfriend is, even though he can be quite rude to others. The friend doesn't see these negative traits because love clouds their judgment. This saying suggests that love can make people blind to reality. Being aware of this can help someone try to look at their relationship more objectively and make sure they recognize both the good and the bad.
