“Love as distinct from ‘being in love’ — is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit…” C. S. Lewis

I have heard people tell me they are no longer “in love” with their spouse. My first thought is, So? What has feelings got to do with keeping the word you pledged when you married? We can love each other with actions even on the days we don’t like each other. This is the kind of love on which a marriage is based, not fickle feelings which come and go.
