The Lovers is always an encouraging card to see. Of course, we’re going to think of romance. However, it’s associated with Gemini, so it would be only reasonable to assume a dual nature. Today, I’m thinking of this energy in terms of choice.
Being in love—and more importantly, staying in love—is a choice. Choosing to focus on someone’s positive qualities, forgiving their imperfections, and committing to walking forward with this person in life is most definitely a choice.
I’ve always thought it funny, people say they are “getting married.” As if you go downtown to visit the marriage store, pick out a 30-year model with full warranty, and head on home. Dusting off your hands, you declare, “That’s done!” 🙂
I don’t see marriage isn’t something you do on a particular day and voilà! You’re hitched. It’s a state. It’s a way of living, a way of interacting with the world. Married people remain distinct individuals, yet consciously choose to be part of a couple at the same time.
Think choices. Think about how the ways you’re both an individual who is part of a union. Think about how you’re a human and a soul at the same time. Think about how you’re deciding who you are, how you live, and who you love.
See, love and choice are completely interrelated. It’s a choice to love! It’s a choice not to love. Please don’t confuse this point with staying together. You can love without remaining connected to someone, or remain connected without loving.
Staying part of a particular coupling isn’t always a good choice. Loving however, usually is.
Do you see love as a choice?
