Biblical Answer

When love becomes a daily choice, it means that we are no longer relying on the initial emotional explosion of romantic love, but rather on a commitment to act lovingly towards our spouse. This is in contrast to the cultural view that love is based on feelings, which can be fleeting and unreliable. As Paul says, "seek to serve one another rather than to be happy, and you will find a new and deeper happiness" (unspecified). This means that we need to focus on making deliberate choices to act lovingly, rather than just following our emotions.

When we make love a daily choice, we are able to move beyond the initial excitement of romantic love and develop a deeper, wiser, and richer love. This love is not driven by the promise of ultimate fulfillment, but rather by a commitment to serve and love our spouse. As the Bible says, "the choice to act lovingly, not the intensity of the feeling, is the test and ultimate proof of love" (unspecified). This means that we need to focus on making choices that demonstrate our love, even when it's hard or uncomfortable.

Making love a daily choice requires us to prioritize the best interest of our spouse and God over our own desires. This means that when conflicts arise, we need to choose to love and serve our spouse, even if it's not what we want. As the Bible says, "when the best interest of another or ourselves and the best interest of God come into conflict, love must make a choice" (unspecified). By making love a daily choice, we can develop a love that is deeper, richer, and more fulfilling, and we can build a strong and lasting marriage.
