Since everyone now knows that love is just a feeling, why haven't the marriage vows changed from "I do" to "I feel like it"? Or perhaps, "Sure, that sounds good for now".
Perhaps vows mean a bit more than that. As Fr. Corapi was talking this morning, love is a decision. It isn't always easy. But loving our spouse or our neighbor is just a subset of loving the Lord. We encounter times that we may not "feel" like it, but love sticks it out. Saying Yes when the feelings say I can't, won't or don't want to.
Love is an act of the will, not an emotion.
