I don't entirely agree with timmy494 answer, although he is on the right track. I don't think someone can turn a blind eye to someones abuse.
In more general terms, ""Love can blind you to someones faults," means you don't see minor faults such as bad table manors or selfishness. Maybe this person is constantly tardy for dates or reckless in how they spend their money.
When your in love with someone you tend to ignore these faults which you might see and remark about in others. These same faults may even be a major irritant to you when seen in others but not in this person. That's what "What does "Love can blind you to someones faults" really means.
Eventually you will see these faults when the shininess of your love starts to dull as you get comfortable with each other. It may take a week, a month a year or even 20 years but it will happen. When it does another saying comes to pass. "You knew I was like this when we met, why is it bothering you now."
So while love can blind you to someones faults being blinded by love can be very hurtful in the long run.

If you love someone you'll only look at the good in them. Take for instance an abusive relationship, say the guy is verbally and physically abusive to the girl. If the girl "loves" him she will ignore that and only see the good parts in him. Whether it's just because she feels security in routine or whatnot. She WILL NOT LEAVE.
