Make a decision to love
Many years ago, when my husband, Dennis, and I attended a Marriage Encounter weekend, one phrase from the experience stuck like glue: “Make a decision to love.” So simple and yet so profound. When we arrived home from that weekend, I printed those words out in large type and hung a copy over the kitchen sink, on the bathroom mirror, and over my desk.
