E.g. 他这么(or 这样) 做，只因他太爱她了。 [phr] He did so only because he loved her very much.
E.g. 我不明白他这样 (or 这么) 做的目的。 [phr] I don't understand why he did so.

2. When used to indicate the degree, both 这么 and 这样 can be used before an adjective or a verb indicating mental activities (喜欢，爱，讨厌…）. They are interchangeable in the sentences below:
