"Love is a choice" is a powerful quote I took a few decades ago from a community billboard of the local Unitarian church. It has served me in my approach to strengthening my romantic relationship with my spouse of 36 years. I'm reassured to hear it again from the younger generation. On another point to the why for this article, I enjoy the tradition some folks practice, that Valentines day belongs to friends and family love too. Second: We were intrigued this year to learn we were not the only household among friends choosing to watch the Super Bowl alone. A lot about this choice makes sense to me. It's a long event, boredom can exacerbate the tendency to over drink and over eat, whereas on your own there is no pressure to keep everyone entertained the entire game time. Using the game as a conversation starter, later, is a much more satisfying way to engage with friends, I find.
