M.I. - Love Is A Choice
from The Unbreakable Black Man Podcast · host Michael "Coolen" Terrell
Send us Fan MailLove can feel amazing on Monday and exhausting by Friday, so what are we actually building our relationships on: emotion, or decision? We’re getting honest about a simple truth that a lot of people avoid saying out loud: love is a choice, not just a feeling. Feelings shift, chemistry comes and goes, and life has a way of testing anyone who promises “forever.” The difference-maker is commitment and intentional effort, the kind you bring even when it’s uncomfortable.We talk about why so many relationships collapse at the first sign of hardship, and how the modern divorce conversation can turn quitting into the default option. I also draw a hard line between normal hard seasons and real harm. Supporting someone through job loss, grief, depression, or health struggles is part of partnership. But “ride it out” does not mean staying in situations that involve abuse, theft, or constant chaos. Choosing love still includes boundaries, safety, and self-respect.Then we get into the image problem: when love becomes a social media prop, a highlight reel, or an accessory for likes, the real work gets ignored. Saying “I love you” is easy. Living it looks like showing up, staying honest, and doing the unglamorous work that keeps a bond strong when nobody is clapping.If you want grounded relationship advice, marriage mindset clarity, and a real take on commitment, press play. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review. Do you believe love is a feeling, a choice, or both?
