Jillian Turecki explains that love is often misunderstood as a feeling rather than an ongoing practice.
She describes how many people associate love with intensity, excitement, and constant emotional highs. However, those early sensations are more closely related to attraction or infatuation, not the foundation of a lasting relationship.
Sustained love requires consistent effort. It involves showing care, attention, and responsibility toward another person over time, even when the initial intensity fades.
In this view, love is less about maintaining a feeling and more about choosing behaviors that support mutual wellbeing.

Thank you… it is time to change the beliefs… LOVE IS A STATE OF BEING ! not something to give or get, it is not a marchandise… LOVE is something to experience innerly in the moment… it is not a word, an ideas… love is inner silent presence, attention, empathy, CONSCIOUSNESS !
She just said the truth in the most simplest yet powerful way it has ever been seen.
That's why it's easier to act your way into feeling than it is to feel your way into acting…
This is so fulfilling. It also explains why love is a sacrifice that can come with pains and not everything being rosy all the way.
Fucking, finally someone explained it
Knowing this is crazy
love is a state of being. look at the mystics
Before one pretend intellectually to love other, nature or life…
ONE NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE WHAT LOVING OURSELVES UNCONDITIONALLY IS ! (unconditionally meaning the good side and the ugly side of our personna).
FIRST MAKE PEACE WITH YOURSELF: AS YOU ARE !
accept yourself the way you are… stop the childish idea of perfection… perfection does not exist in nature, imperfections make us grow physically, emotionally, mentally and consciously.
so love your self THAN LOVING WHAT IS OUTSIDE YOURSELF WILL FLOW BY NATURE !
LOVE means OPENING YOUR HEART… being receptive…
Love is ATTENTION, what so ever you put your awareness on in this moment is an act of LOVE !
I choose to love me every day! ❤
"Love is caring about another person's well being as much as your own." Love This!!!!!!!
The excitement and butterflies is not lust, it's familiar anxiety induced by insecure attachment. A caveat to clarify that you can have standalone anxiety from an unsafe partner which is a completely different thing altogether.
It’s a choice ❤
The irony is that more people than ever are studying love, ye it’s quality and frequency is reducing day by day
Love is not enough. The Beatles lied to us all.
This is what a lot of people don't understand. Thanks for saying it so clearly!
Being in love comes after high chemistry sex.
This is someone without a child. You dont choose to love your child. Thats what love truly is. No need to "feed" it. Thats ridiculous
❤
Love can come after lust! And even with it!
Love vs Lust… What if you feel both of them for your partner? With nearly equal intensity, after 22 yrs together, and even the butterflies taking place… occasionally… but still yeah…
Love is choosing to care about another person every day.
Trivial things for trivial people
If you have the courage to self reflect it will give rise to loving energy in everything you do. But as long as you identify with an 'individual' self this will be impossible
Right Nourish
Butterflies go
Right
been saying this for years now…. when you choose to love someone other than "feel" love, you're experiencing the emotion differently.
Love is doing for the other what you want them to do to you. Love is giving, lust is self seeking. Love grows, lust diminishes.
You nailed it lady!! 💯❤🎉
When did Sandra Bullock start giving advice on love instead of acting?
Sort of. You can't choose who you love, but you choose whether to treat someone well.
Sadly even many parents think love is just staying
It's not the same
I will say if u don't care of love yourself. It is almost impossible to love others
U simply are confused
Infatuated or codependent….
Even attached…
People who do not love themselves so not love others in 90 percent of cases
They cannot
They just can't
Siblings parents
Partners friends
Relationships
No matter the title the rule is the same
People say I love u so often
And constantly misrepresent it
And let's add that most people don't even care for themselves to a high enough level. We in turn aren't capable of loving anyone greater than the depth of ourselves.
Her body language is telling a very different story. It's very subtle but she doesn't believe in love. Also to say love is one thing doesn't do it justice. There are many types of love, the point is to find someone who matches or compliments your definition.
❤ 💯
wow what's her name? i wanna learn more from her
Love is a practice and choice energy feelings actions .
Peace caring my well being
Love isn’t meant to drive out the “intensity and butterflies” of lust; it’s meant to stabilize it.
Love and sexual desire are not enemies.
I disagree on the comment about lust. Feeling attracted to someone in a butterflies kind of way isn't lust, it isn't impure. It's only lust if you don't care about the person you feel it for. When you care about the person though, and they care about you, and you guys build a close relationship that isn't solely based in but INCLUDES the butterflies part of attraction, you just become even closer and deepen your love. It doesn't lead to a bad place if it's coupled with caring for someone. ❤
And you try to destroy his lust ? Why?
She also doesnt seem to understand. Love is feeling but matrix put that norms its decision😂😂😂 bullshit! Love is passion and after that is all but crowd must be stimulated to be submissive, copulate, marriage etc
What most people confuse love for is attraction, they are not the same under pressure…
Ok but you are supposed to feel it at the beginning though right? Or at some point?
Amen
Love is Jesus Christ, not knowing who He is, you won’t know the meaning of love.
Why is her hands where we can’t see them? Doesn’t tell me happily married with love
