Actually it doesn't say "love yourself", it says "love each other." ("love yourselves" would be "liebt euch selbst")

"und seid brav" literally means "and be well-behaved," but, of course, "and be good" would be a more idiomatic translation.

Wahlverwandschaften, is a reference to a famous Goethe book. It's usually translated as Elective Affinities.
