At its core, love is a decision to be committed to another person. It is far more than a feeling or emotion as portrayed on television, the big screen, and romance novels. Feelings come and go, but a true decision to be committed lasts forever and that is what defines healthy marriages.

Marriage is a decision to be committed through the ups and the downs, the good and the bad. When things are going well, commitment is easy. But true love is displayed by remaining committed even through the marital challenges.
