Love Is a Verb, Not Just a Feeling

The butterflies fade. The novelty wears off. And then you're left with a choice you have to make every single day: to show up or not. Love as a feeling is easy -- it happens to you. Love as a verb is harder. It means having the hard conversation instead of going silent. It means doing the dishes when you're tired. It means choosing someone again on the days when it doesn't feel effortless.
The relationships that last aren't the ones where the spark never dies. They're the ones where both people decided, over and over, that what they're building together is worth the daily, unglamorous effort of maintaining it.
The point
Lasting love is not a feeling you fall into but a choice you make through consistent, everyday action.

After 15 years of marriage, "I love you" is less about butterflies and more about choosing to be patient when you're tired, listening when you'd rather scroll, and making coffee for two every morning.
