What to do when the feeling has gone and you still want to stay.

My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just don’t love her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can i do?“”The feeling isn’t there anymore?“ I asked.”That’s right,“ he reaffirmed. ”And we have three children we’re really concerned about. What do you suggest?“”love her,“ I replied.”I told you, the feeling just isn’t there anymore.“”Love her.“”You don’t understand. the feeling of love just isn’t there.“”Then love her. If the feeling isn’t there, that’s a good reason to love her.“”But how do you love when you don’t love?“”My friend , love is a verb. Love - the feeling - is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?
