When couples try to practice love as conscious choice rather than feeling

My wife and I are trying to practice what the philosophers call 'love as choice' rather than love as feeling, but we keep running up against the question of whether chosen love is somehow less real or meaningful than the kind that feels inevitable. Some days our deliberate, intentional love feels mature and other days it feels like we're just going through motions.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The attempt to ground love in deliberate commitment rather than spontaneous emotion raises questions about authenticity and the nature of genuine affection.
