Sometimes Love Is Not Enough

You can ask anyone who has a long lasting happy marriage and they will tell you that marriage is a constant decision to like the person you are married to.
Those who allow their emotions to control their temperament, or their attractions will eventually be disappointed in their own decisions. They will find themselves seeking happiness but unable to commit to what will truly make them happy. Emotions like a fire make wonderful servants, but terrible masters. Learn to control your feelings or your feelings will destroy you.
It is the commitment to Love that gets you through what emotions might otherwise destroy. Enjoy emotions while you have them, but do not make your decisions based upon them or you will find yourself impoverished, financially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Many marriages end because one person felt they could not help liking another. They loved their spouse, but they made the mistake of following their feelings to their own destruction. Sometimes love is not enough, it takes commitment as well.
