Is Love a Choice?, whatever we think about it...love is still just a decision. You decide to love when you meet a person who you interact with like you have known them all of your life. You can decide to love or you can not to love because love is a choice. You choose to love and the other person do not have to necessarily have to return that love. That is why it is so important to choose to love instead of using hocus pocus and being so much in love that you are in love with the emotion and not the person.
When you choose to love, you are using the emotion of compatibility with another person who you have decided have everything you want in a person and can bring everything that you want in a relationship. The choice is yours to be the best you can be and make the choice to present your best. You should present your best because you want to have a reciprocal relationship where he will choose to love you also. He must choose to love you to make the relationship to work and to be trustworthy in his selection of you as his lover and you to him.
Sounds simple enough. You choose to love him and he chooses to love you. But more often than not one of your will love the other more and that is alright because there is no measurement to make the balance of emotions equal. The woman will most likely love more because it is her nature to belong to someone and to be a part of a relationship. The woman will work harder to keep the relationship together because she knows that love is a choice to have a strong emotion for another and men are just not geared to having a relationship.
However, once a man find "the one" and chooses to love her, he will undoubtedly not let go of the relationship by choosing to act in a behavior that would cause his lover to leave him for another. Love is a choice and because of that, you have the freedom to fall out of love as well. But who would want to fall out of happiness if they chose after weighing the alternatives that are out there and have settled on the one person in their life who have everything that they have longed for up until this time. Happiness is enjoyed when both people in the relationship chooses to love each other and to forsake all others who are out there trying to make a good thing to go bad. If the two are bonded in this choice to love with strong emotions and trust, the relationship will endure all of the distractions.
So, love is a choice...

The Gift of Love
The Gift of Love
Love is always bestowed as a gift--freely, willingly, and without expectation...
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
--Leo Buscaglia
May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive,
which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.
--L.O. Baird
When it comes to giving love, the opportunities are unlimited,
and we are all gifted.
--Leo Buscaglia
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
--Brian Tracy
Love is a gift. You can't buy it, you can't find it, someone has to give it to you. Learn to be receptive of that gift.
Life is the first gift, love is the second,
and understanding the third.
--Marge Piercy
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
--Jean Anouilh
Love is giving the gift of oneself.
--Author Unknown
Life, the gift of nature
Love, the gift of life
A Kiss, the gift of Love
--Author Unknown
There is seemingly so little love shared in this world, it is not surprising that we ask, "Where have all the lovers gone?" Since love is the most vital energy for good that is within our power to utilize, it is puzzling why we so seldom do so. Love is just a useless, abstract idea until we put it into action...Unless we are always actively living in love, we are not utilizing the greatest gift we have been given and which we, in turn, have to offer.
--Leo Buscaglia
The only gift is a portion of thyself.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it
and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep
watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
--John Lennon
The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart.
--Josiah G. Holland
A friend is a gift you give yourself.
--Robert Louis Stevenson
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love,
a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
--Mother Teresa
A gift consists not in what is done or given,
but in the intention of the giver or doer.
--Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.
--Barbara de Angelis
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift
of unconditional love and acceptance.
--Brian Tracy
He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover,
but the love of the giver.
--Thomas Kempis

Love is...
Love is...
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
--Alexander Smith
Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on valentines and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favourite memories and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all - one known only by those who love.
--Author Unknown
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
--1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is merely madness...
--William Shakespeare
True love is like a ghost;
everyone talks of it, few have seen it.
--La Rochefoucauld
Love is like a Rhino, short-sighted,
but always willing to find a way.
--Author Unknown
If I know what love is, it is because of you.
--Herman Hesse
Love is energy of life.
--Robert Browning
Love is an ocean of emotions, entirely surrounded by expenses.
--Thomas Dewar
Love is like a flower: Once you pick it, it slowly dies
--Author Unknown
Love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two or more people to produce together conditions under which each can be and spontaneously express, his real self; to produce together an intellectual soil and an emotional climate in which each can flourish, far superior to what either could achieve alone.
--Author Unknown
Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.
--Felix Adler
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
--Honore de Balzac
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
--Erich Fromm
Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed: our love to others, and others' love to us.
--Thomas Trahern
Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.
--Leo Buscaglia
Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

Signs a Man Is in Love
I read this article and i want to shear it with u.
By: Joe Rector
Few things affect a man more than falling in love. People often say they can see the signs a man is in love--or the symptoms of his affliction. What's most evident is the complete change that comes over the male as his heart is given to the woman he adores.
A man in love becomes a softer version of his former self. Once rough around the edges, this man discovers his sensitive side. He now enjoys laughing children, beautiful sunsets and "chick flicks." He can be seen wiping a tear from the corner of his eye as he watches those films about a couple in love and their rollercoaster ride toward eternal bliss. He loses his penchant for arguing and fighting. In fact, the love-struck man begins to care what others think about him and his actions because he wants to make the best impression upon his newly found love. His goal is to be pleasing to her.
Another sign that a man has fallen in love concerns his friends. At one time, "his boys" sat at the center of his universe. Times spent with them dictated his daily schedule. Once this man is overpowered by love's influences, he turns his back on those men with whom he's made so many memories, most of which are disgusting to his lady. Weekly get-togethers with the guys are replaced with staying home, cuddling on the couch, or, God forbid, shopping with his girlfriend. The longer the relationship lasts, he finds less time to spend with his friends in any setting.
Nothing more clearly points to a man's falling in love than the change in his decision-making. At one time, this "manly man" could take a trip to the mall, enter a store, find an item, and return home in a matter of minutes. After he has fallen for a woman, the guy can't go anywhere without her. He looks to her for help in choosing the right item to buy. Before meeting this woman, the man could get dressed for an event in about five minutes. Now that he's in love, the guy can't select an outfit without her help. A man in love suffers from a loss of thinking ability or confidence to the point that he turns over decisions to his soul mate.
In general, for men, falling in love is characterized by signs of their total change in every area of life.

Love is magic
Many people believe that love is a divine magical power that connects two loving hearts. For ages people have been thinking of what love is, writing books and song about love, in the recent time – shooting movies all on the same topic. Christians would say that God teaches us to love each other, the most skeptical materialists would blame it all on the chemical processes and hormones, romantic people would stand for the theory that each of us has his or her half on the Earth. Whatever love really is – the humanity definitely loves it.
Love is opposite to selfishness, because it’s always heading to some other person but you. It’s the highest point of human’s relations development. One voluntary gives up a great part of his/her own freedom. Love is giving by it’s nature. Person feels satisfaction and happiness not from receiving but from and seeing one happy. Two individuals completing one another form some spiritual union in which one is happy because the other’s is happy and one knows that he or she loves because he or she knows he/she would do anything it takes to make the other.
Love has it’s magical power to overcome all troubles, heal illnesses, create wonders. In critical life situations it gives people the strength to survive, to hold on however tough the living gets. And it all comes from the knowledge that you’re not alone in this world.
But everyone should mind that love arises not between angels but between people with all their little sins and flows. So the mistakes, problems and conflicts in love are in fact normal, they all come from our human’s nature. But the clear feeling of love is worth all the troubles one has to walk through to gain it. As we know Rome wasn’t built in a day, the same thing with love. There’s not any perfect art of loving. It’s always a road laid with compromises, everyday battle – not with the one you love, but with yourself. That’s how love makes us better. For everyone this way is personal. You can never predict how the relationships will develop but it’s in your ability to make it better.
