You know the story. Two people meet and fall in love. They move all their belongings into the same samll place and begin to make a life together. They discover that they have three toasters, two blenders, and not even one coffeemaker. They don't fold their shirts the same way and they can't always agree on whose turn it is to clean house. But these are the little things and because these two people love each other, they find a way to work them out. Time passes on; there are other things, family crises, decisions, perhaps illnesses....these are big things but because the two people love each other, they find a way to work them out also. I believe love gets a couple through the not-so-fun stuff.
I recently read in someone's blog that love is a choice. That deserves some caring thoughts before I comment. Feel free to comment if you have time.
I Cor. 13 The entire chapter is devoted to charity (love) which is my very favorite reading in the entire Bible. .....and is also the answer to this amazingly incredible word called LOVE. :)

Hi Carol,
I agree that Love is a choice. Your heart creates a bridge to allow the other person in and bring in all that he or she is. All the little things that you notice that you did not see before you loved that person. All these things become so cute then yeah one day the cute stuff has passed. Then it is time to remember why you fell in love with your significant other. The small stuff is what needs to be remembered when the big stuff happen. That lets you remember the "cute" stuff again. Love is a choice and sometimes you can't help who your heart loves if you stop and think about, but when you stop to think about it that is when you start to lose out on what could really be a blessing to your heart.

In getting back to I Cor. 13 where the Bible says "Love suffereth long" ...Love is so unconditional and especially when the "cute stuff" passes. The fog begins to lift when small/big stuff is equally as important. What I call the "good, bad, and the ugly." Unfortunately most couples give up when the ugly stuff appears and can't seem to get "on the same page." Thanks for your great thoughts!
