Choosing to Love

More important than choosing the right person to marry is being the right person.

We make choices each day. Choose to love, daily. Love is not just an emotion, a feeling, it is a choice. It's a decision. Love is a choice, a decision we make each day. When you love you: Appreciate. Express gratitude. Recognize who the person is. See them now. (Not just how they were 10 years ago.) Be aware. Recognize changes in them. Fight fair. No digging up stuff from the past when you argue. Fighting is not about history; every thing in the past. It is about the present dilemma. (Fight only about what you are fighting about.) The opposite of love is not hate. Hate is part of love. The opposite of love is apathy, not caring, not feeling. Love and life are not easy.
