Love – One Life Only Counseling Services

Is Love a Feeling?

Some people stay in relationships long after they have stopped asking whether a meaningful life can be built there.

Others leave at the first sign of difficulty, assuming that the absence of excitement means love has ended.

Love requires effort.

But effort cannot make every relationship workable.

And the loss of butterflies does not mean a relationship is unworkable.

The challenge is learning the difference.

We readily acknowledge chemistry on a first date because little is at stake.

But when the stakes become higher, we often stop asking whether a relationship is workable and start asking how to make it work at any cost.

Love requires effort.

But effort alone cannot turn every context into one where a meaningful life can be built.
