Is Love A Decision?
So, is love an emotion, something that you have no control over? Or is love a decision, something that you decide to do, share, or continue with everyday of your life?
Many feel that love is an emotion, something that you can not control, something that just happens. In actuality, love is both, it becomes a decision when things get tough, and you have to remember why you married your spouse in the first place. It’s a decision when there becomes a gap in the relationship, when it feels like you two are growing apart, going in two different directions, or stagnating. That is when you have to make a decision of whether or not to continue on your current path, or too make time for each other and choose together which path should, or will be taken.
Love is an emotion when you just look at your spouse and remember exactly why you married them.
I completely agree. I love my DH all the time but I have to put a little more effort into it at certain times. I think it all comes down to the fact that marriage like any relationship requires hard work and dedication. The commitment isn’t in just saying I Love You or I Do. It’s meaning it no matter what the situation. Great Post!!

In making a decision that usually comes from some emotion therefore love is based on emotion?? Food for thought here.

Being an extremely emotional person who is in a lovely relationship with someone who shows little emotion, I have to say its a balancing act. There are days both of us want to rant at the other, its simply a matter of remembering why we fell in love in the first place.
