Love as an Attitude and a Choice

Chapman emphasizes that true love is an intentional attitude and not just a spontaneous feeling. He writes, 'Love is the attitude that says, ‘I am married to you, and I choose to look out for your interests.’' This perspective shifts love from an emotional response to a deliberate action. By choosing to love through acts of kindness, requests instead of demands, and the forgiveness of past failures, couples can foster a deeper and more enduring emotional connection.
