I agree with Brenda, love is a feeling not a choice. There are different types of love, like Brenda explained to love someone and to be in love with someone . Our children have our unconditional love and that love will stay until the day we die. Your spouse ,you can fall out of being in love with but still love him or her. We love people in our lives differently. So therefore it is not a choice. |

Well, if love is a choice and not a feeling then what is it I feel when I've had my heart broken?
 Is that a choice, too?

There are many different kinds of love, as previously mentioned. Love for spouse, love for children. Love for a spouse starts out as an attraction, a feeling that matures into so much more over time. It grows in depth and intensity. Love for children is a feeling that we seem to be just given. They are a part of our being. Both of these type of loves are hard to describe because of their intensity and many facets.
Then there is love for friends. This type of love is more of a choice. We choose our friends and choose who we will love. Sometimes it takes effort to overcome something about a friend in order to truly love them, but it can be done.

I don't think it's a choice. You don't MEAN to fall in love, it just happens. I think it may be a feeling or more than that. I don't know what it is but I do know that you can't help it. It's just something that happens. I don't think you can CHOOSE to fall in love.
