Love is less surprise getaways to romantic locales, and more quiet faithfulness, getting up early every day to take care of family & work to provide.

Love is less fireworks exploding while you hold each other, and more enveloping embraces while you break down in tears. #marriage
Love is less snappy comebacks and brilliant quips, and more "I love you, goodnight", night after night, week after week, decade after decade.

Love is less trendy fashion choices, and more sweatpants & t-shirts while we serve one another when we feel our worst. #marriage
Love is less the one who can sweep you off your feet, and more of the one who can be there in 30 years.

Love is less Disney, and more of the quiet older couple who no one knows but who has been faithful for decades. #marriage
One last thought.

Instagram and Disney are really bad models for what love should look like. Don't search for that.

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; a light has dawned on those living in the land of darkness. You have enlarged the nation and increased its joy. The people have rejoiced before you as they rejoice at harvest time and as they rejoice when dividing spoils.
For you have shattered their oppressive yoke and the rod on their shoulders, the staff of their oppressor, just as you did on the day of Midian. For every trampling boot of battle and the bloodied garments of war will be burned as fuel for the fire.
For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end.
