How do we know that sacrificial love is true?

Answered in 1 source

Sacrificial love is exemplified in Christ's death for the Church, demonstrating the ultimate form of love.

Sacrificial love is a foundational doctrine emphasized in Ephesians 5:25, where husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her. This profound love is not merely an emotional or platonic affection but is demonstrated through actions and sacrifice. Christ's love is marked by His willingness to endure suffering and death to redeem His bride. Thus, the sacrificial love that husbands are called to replicate is rooted in the reality of Christ’s sacrifice and reflects God's love for humanity. This kind of love is transformative and underpins the Christian understanding of relationships.
