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 something that just happens, but rather something that we must intentionally cultivate and nurture. When we choose to love our partner, we're not just choosing to feel a certain way, but rather to act in a certain way. We're choosing to prioritize their needs, to listen to them, to support them, and to be patient with them. When love becomes a daily choice, it's no longer just a feeling, but a responsibility. It's a commitment to put our partner's needs before our own, to sacrifice for them, and to be willing to work through the tough times. This kind of love is not just romantic love, but a deep and abiding affection that grows and develops over time. It's a love that's rooted in a sense of duty and responsibility, rather than just a fleeting feeling. For my wife and me, this means choosing to put in the effort to communicate effectively, to resolve conflicts in a healthy way, and to prioritize our relationship. It means choosing to be patient with each other, to forgive each other, and to support each other's dreams. When we choose to love each other in this way, it's not just a feeling that we're experiencing, but a deep and abiding connection that brings joy and fulfillment to our lives.
