That’s a deep and often misunderstood idea. When people say “love is not a feeling,” they usually mean:
-
Feelings come and go. Attraction, excitement, and infatuation rise and fall, but love is deeper than temporary emotions.
-
Love is a choice. Real love is shown in actions—commitment, sacrifice, patience, forgiveness—especially when the “loving feeling” isn’t strong.
-
Love is sustained by habits. Acts of care, kindness, and loyalty keep love alive even when emotions fluctuate.
-
Feelings follow actions. Often, when you choose to act in loving ways, the feelings return or deepen over time.
For example, in a relationship, you won’t always “feel” in love every day—but choosing to listen, support, and care for your partner is what makes it real love.
