It’s time for the Catholic Alpha Marriage Tactic – A series of marriage tactics that will transform you from zero to hero!

But only if you drop the laziness, aloofness, and pride; and actually do them!

Consider; Is your marriage passionless, lackluster, mediocre, or currently in the toilet? Want to get it back on track (Make It Great?)

Then consider today’s Alpha Marriage Tactic #3! Either listen to me now, or I guarantee; you’ll be looking for me, or someone like me, later!

So, What Is Alpha Marriage Tactic #3: You Must Realize Love Is Not An Emotion!

What is the real meaning of love?

More important, what is Christ’s (The Catholic Church) meaning of love?

I’ll sit here for a second a let you think about it. 1…2…3…

Is the meaning of love a completely emotional thing?

Is it a fine feeling in your loins?

Is it some unattainable possession that is illusive and tricky to keep hold of?

We all presume, we understand love.

Love makes me feel special.

Love makes me feel good.

Love makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Love makes me feel like loving my wife, my children, my parents.

But what happens, when so-called love, doesn’t feel warm and fuzzy anymore?

What happens when you don’t feel so-called “in love” anymore?

What-happens-then? To your marriage; your Beloved; your relationship with Christ?

I’ll tell you what happens…

They're screwed!

Why?

Because now, since I don’t feel the love anymore…

that’s my excuse to abandon my marriage; and, to find a home wrecker to shack up with.

Oh, but only until I get tired of her.

So, we leave and desert our families.

But naively rationalize, somehow, they will be ok; they will survive.

“Stop lying to yourself!” is what I say.

This reasoning is just an excuse to indulge in total selfishness.

You know it. I know it. And more important; God knows it!

Now, let’s look at this in more logical, common sensical perspective.

Question: Concerning Love, Are You Classically Catholic Or Secular?

What is love? Is it an emotion; a feeling?

Well, according to the Catholic Church (Christ’s Church)…

“Love is willing the good of another, at the sacrifice of one’s self!”

Bam!

You see? Love Is An Act Of The Will!

We as men, make a conscious decision, to love, honor, and cherish, our wives for eternity.

Not until, I don’t feel the feeling anymore!

Sure, don’t get me wrong. Having a warm, fuzzy feeling is nice.

It’s a motivator; makes us sense euphoria and it’s pleasurable…

Something we are definitely used too!

And as a benefit, the closer you grow to Christ, you may experience this emotion.

On the other hand, as you move through the levels of the faith. God will strip those emotions away.

Further, you’ll have to depend on your will, to sustain you.

Look, let’s break it down to the core.

Love is a decision, a commitment, a burning fire within the will saying, “I will do this!”

“No matter what happens; no matter the cost.”

“No matter, how-I-feel!”

“Moreover, I am a man; a Christian Soldier.”

“I will myself to love my wife, even if she no longer loves me.”

Do you get it?

Brother, feelings are fleeting!

They come and go.

If you base your love on emotion, your logic, and intellect are severely affected.

Moreover, I can’t trust anything you say.

Why?

Because emotions are completely unpredictable.

And a person that relies on them can seem completely crazy one minute…

And the next minute seem quite sane.

Again, which are you?

What Should Your View Be Concerning Love?

I’m warning you…This Might Hurt!

So, what stance on love in the end, will make us happy?

After all, God understands, relying on feelings will eventually let us down.

They will lead us astray; Abandon us!

Not to mention, when it comes to the critical areas of our life (faith and marriage).

But the intellect, “the will”, is something on a higher level. It never leaves.

Our “will”forces us to use logic; common sense.

Even when our emotions, guide us in the wrong direction. To say, “Abandon God, or our Beloved.”

This is why the Catholic Faith is the Bomb!!!

God realizes, we come to Him as an act of our wills.

Not because we suppose today, we love Him…

Or, tomorrow we despise Him…because we didn’t get our way.

Look, Authentic Men, True Men, Men Of Courage, have fortitude, perseverance, fight, and long suffering.

Why?

To have the fortitude to remain and engage in battle with the Evil One…

In order to, To protect his Beloved; To defend his Beloved; To serve his Beloved.

And to tell themselves, we will never leave. We will never stop battling. Even until the death.

Why?

Because my friend…This is just what True Man does!

So, what's the solution?
