Love Me Tender

Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on May 26, 2009

If you were to ask me what was the most important lesson I’d learned about marriage in my (ahem!) years in the married state, I’d give you my answer with no hesitation at all: love is a choice, not a feeling.

But I think this is rather the result of some personal frustrations, rather than a generic truth. Maybe it’s the age I’m getting to, but I’ve noticed ...read more
