1 Corinthians 13:4-7 King James Version

⁴ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁶ Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

⁷ Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

These are not from a poem or love sappy movie. They sound like a set of choices that creates a rock on which you can build strong friends and more.

Relational health has to be based on choices, not just feelings. 

Relationships are not built on feelings but on choices. Love is a choice; happiness is a choice; marriage should be a choice; careers and education should be choices.

Are your relationships based on feelings or choices? Feelings fluctuate based on thoughts and circumstances.
