I just re-read this section of The Mark of a Man by Elisabeth Elliot. I happened to also read it a few days ago as I was skimming through the book, and then my grandma totally started talking about this!
To make love refers to a performance. It is an act which technically does not require anything remotely resembling real love. To love, by contrast, requires leaving the self behind, abandoning it for the other.
