love is a verb

Even though love starts with a feeling, it doesn’t end there.

One thing that’s deeper than feelings are choices. And eventually, real love has to move into something more significant.

Attraction is a good first step, but it’s just the first step. 

There are so many components of choice when it comes to creating a healthy and meaningful relationship—from the initial choices of knowing yourself, to working on becoming your best self, to the choice of entering into a relationship that’s good for you, to the choice of committing to love.

Real love is a commitment, it’s not something we fall into by mistake. Instead, it’s something we choose, and continue to choose, for the rest of our lives. Like the old D.C. Talk song says, “Love is a verb.”
