前年剛結婚的好朋友,因為房子貸款太貴, 所以決定把他們的公寓賣掉. 權宜之計,是各自回自己的家裡住. 就這樣, 兩個人就分開了.
以前也有同事, 因為工作和薪水的誘引, 夫妻兩地住.
聽了有點訝異. 不太了解,又能了解.

Love is a verb
so i'm reading this book that has claimed sold over 15 million copis...
still not totally convinced yet...
but there is this part which i think deserve attention:
...a man came up and said, "Stephen, I like what you're saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I'm really worried. My wife and I just dont have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just dont love her anymore and she doesn't love me. What can I do?"
"The feeling isnt there anymore?" I asked.
"That's right," he reaffirmed. "And we have three children we're really concerned about. What do you suggest?"
"Love her", I replied.
"I told you, the feeling just isnt there anymore."
"Love her."
"You dont understand. The feeling of love just isn't there."
"Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, that's a good reason to love her."
"But how do you love when you don't love?"
"My friend, love is a verb. Love-the feeling-is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?"

~The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People~
and then the book goes on telling people to be proactive. Love is a verb, and reactive people make it a feeling.
