Our world needs to learn the difference between “being in love” with someone and simply “loving” someone. Being in love is just that, a state of being. The very words we use to describe “being in love” tell us that it is not permanent. It is no coincidence then, that marriages based on this fleeting state of being, this honeymoon phase, do not last. Love is an action and a decision. Until we begin to teach what it means to recognize day in and day out that someone else matters more than we do, our marriages will continue to fail. Unless we base our marriages on a deliberate choice instead of on a temporary emotional state, they will continue to crumble when waves hit their sandy foundations.
