To those who are loving feelings

Love, is the feeling you feel when you feel you are going to get a feeling you have never felt before. Actually, this definition reveals a good description of the indescribable emotion that overwhelms us when we ‘fall in love’. But romantic love tends to be as short-lived as it is intense. Marriages based on pure romance tend to crumble when ordinary stresses hit home. Spouses often find that they have gotten married for an ideal that does not exist. Can love survive the discovery that the one we’ve married is an imperfect as we are?

In reality, love is not first of all a way of ‘feeling’. Love is first of all a way of ‘doing’. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud…….The list goes on. Does that mean love as an emotion means nothing? No. But feelings of love tend to follow in the wake pf loving deeds. Personally, I’ve discovered that deeds of loving service restore the spark of romance that once existed in the relationship. Is there someone with whom you need to rekindle love today? What deeds of love might fan the flame?
