Love as a Choice: What does it mean to love

Written By James Youngs

Have you ever considered what it really means to love? Love isn’t an accident you fall into — it’s a decision you grow through.

When James and I look back at our marriage, our love didn’t thrive because everything was easy. It thrived because we made a choice, day after day, to love God’s way. We decided to love in faith, grace, and intentionality, even when it was hard.

And that’s the heart of every strong marriage: two imperfect people choosing, again and again, to love like Jesus.
