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 we must practice every day. When we choose to love our spouse, it reignites feelings of joyous affection and strong passion. It's not about waiting for the romance to wear off or for the excitement of the early days to fade away. Rather, it's about making a conscious decision to prioritize our relationship and to put the other person's needs before our own. When we choose to love our spouse, it's not just about the romantic feelings, but also about the sacrifices we make for each other. It's about being there for each other in the tough times, even when it's not easy. It's about being a safe haven for each other, a place where we can be ourselves without fear of judgment. And it's about choosing to put our spouse's needs before our own, even when it's hard. As I've learned from my own marriage, love is not just a feeling, but a choice that we must make every day. For me, choosing to love Susan has been a daily decision that has brought immense joy and fulfillment to my life. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. And I believe that this is true for all of us, regardless of whether we're married or not. Love is a choice that we must make every day, and it's a choice that can bring us great happiness and fulfillment if we're willing to make it. As I've learned from my own experience, love is not just a feeling, but a choice that we must make every day.
