In this episode, we examine the first stone in the pillar of love. Love is indeed a choice. We think of love as a feeling or an attraction. There is no doubt chemistry involved in the attraction between two people. Neurotransmitters and hormones play a role there as well. That is just the beginning.

Feelings of all kinds have a shelf life. The neurotransmitters that create feelings we experience are produced by organs in the body and processed in the bloodstream. Feelings come and go. So if love is more than feelings, what is the essence of this powerful force? Love is a choice. It is a decision to act in a particular way. To love is to use our spiritual and physical resources to serve another person.
