Day 10: Love is Unconditional

Has your love in the past been based on your spouse's attributes and behavior, or on your committment?

At various times both. I do appreciate alot of things about my wife. I also endured a 16 month separation, when she made it clear she wanted out of our marriage, so hopefully at that time, I showed some love based on committment.

How can you continue to show love when it's not returned in the way you hoped for?

By chosing to do many of the things already discussed in The Love Dare, such as patience, not being irritable, believing the best, greeting warmly, etc.
