Your Question:
What happens when love becomes a daily choice?
Answer:
As I reflect on my 19 years of marriage to Susan, I've come to realize that love is indeed a daily choice. It's not just a feeling that comes and goes, but a responsibility that requires effort and commitment. When I'm tempted to take Susan for granted or let the burdens of family life get in the way of romance, I have to remind myself that love is a choice I make every day. It's a choice to put her needs before my own, to listen to her, to support her, and to show her affection. I've learned that love is not just a feeling, but a decision. It's a decision to prioritize my relationship with Susan, even when it's hard. It's a decision to communicate openly and honestly, to work through conflicts, and to seek forgiveness when I've wronged her. When I make this choice, I find that our love grows stronger, and our bond becomes deeper. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with the idea that love is a choice. They get caught up in the romantic feelings of the early days of their relationship and forget that love requires work and commitment. But when they learn to make love a daily choice, they find that their relationship flourishes. They learn to communicate, to forgive, and to prioritize each other. And that's what I've learned in my own marriage: that love is a choice, and when we make it every day, it can bring joy, passion, and depth to our relationship.
