A tragic thing happens when people do not know this
information. People think they are falling out of love when the infatuation
starts to fade. They think their
relationship has lost it’s excitement and they start looking elsewhere. They
start looking for a person who can give them that intoxicating feeling again,
hoping that this time it will last longer. Hoping that fate will draw them to
their soul mate and they will magically get along blissfully in love the rest
of their life. Divorce after divorce happens because of this way of thinking.
Please understand, LOVE is a VERB. Love is an action, not a
feeling. What is beautiful about love is that when the feelings fade, it preservers.
Love conquers all. So say you love a person and they lose their job because of
a stupid mistake. True love steps up and looks for a way to respect them anyway
and support them as they get back on track. Love is intentional about being
nice when you don’t feel like it. Love serves when they feel lazy. This kind of
love is what lasts. This kind of love is what makes deep and satisfying
relationships. This kind of love is a choice that you must make DAILY. It is
ongoing.
If you are counting on a feeling to sustain your
relationship, I promise you will be disappointed. If you look at this picture above and think, "I want that", you must treat love as an action.
I was infatuated when I was 14 years old,with time I learned to love. It is now 40 years later and I still love him, my love for him grows everyday. We have been to hell and back and it is my hope that we will be together till the very last day. His infatuation lasted 30 years and he too thinks there is no more love, I am hoping that my love will light the way to the end of time.
