Your Question:
What happens when love becomes a daily choice in the chaos of everyday life?
Answer:
As I reflect on my own marriage of 19 years, I've come to realize that love is indeed a daily choice. It's not just a feeling that comes and goes, but a commitment to put the needs of my wife, Susan, and our children, Joshua and Rebecca, above my own. When the chaos of everyday life sets in, it's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and forget to prioritize our relationships. But I've learned that making love a daily choice requires effort and intentionality. For me, this means putting aside my own desires and interests to focus on what my family needs. Whether it's helping with homework, attending school events, or simply being present in the moment, I strive to show my love and commitment to them in practical ways. It's not always easy, and there are days when I feel like I'm just going through the motions. But I've come to understand that love is not just a feeling, but a choice that I make every day. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with the idea of love as a choice. They get caught up in the idea that love should be a feeling that comes naturally, rather than a commitment that requires effort and sacrifice. But I believe that when we make love a daily choice, it can become a source of strength and joy in our relationships. It's not about feeling a certain way, but about being willing to put the needs of others above our own. And when we do, I believe that our relationships can become a source of true happiness and fulfillment.
