"I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the Lord." Hosea 2:20
TODAY'S DARE:
Love is a choice, not a feeling. It is an initiated action, not a knee-jerk reaction. Choose today to be committed to love even if your spouse has lost most of their interest in receiving it. Say to them today in words similar to these, "I love you. Period. I choose to love you even if you don't love me in return."
MY REFLECTION:

MY REFLECTION:
I have often wondered why I no longer have that mushy feeling anymore where my husband is concerned. Recently I have discovered that that means I am no longer on drugs. Before you react, the marriage encounter that I attended this past weekend enlightened me to several things. One of those things was that love is a choice, not a feeling. When we first are attracted to that special someone, our brain produces several different "drugs" that make us all googly-eyed, sweaty palms, can't eat, can't sleep, drug-induced; in other words we get addicted. After we "fall-in-love" and after the honeymoon, the "drugs" wear off. What we then have to decide is do we go find a different drug or do we stay and really begin to learn the "one" that God hand picked for us. I choose to love my man and learn as much as I can about him and one day, I'm almost positive, I'll be more "addicted" to him than I ever thought I liked the "drugs" that attracted us.
"I have chosen the faithful way." Psalm 119:30
