Another example is in our emotional and spiritual lives. After a particularly hard day for one or the other of us, we choose to unwind, process, vent, pray together, and encourage each other. We don’t do this out of a desperate need. We could choose to deal with the negative emotions of a hard day in so many different ways—in both good ways and not-so-good ways. But we choose to connect out of love, inviting the other person into that intimate place of our hearts. Choosing to love someone is so much more meaningful than needing someone to love.
