My mother once gave me advice that at first sounded strange, but over time revealed its wisdom. She said, “Don’t marry the man who makes your heart race, marry the man who makes your heart rest.” At the time, I thought love was supposed to feel like butterflies, like losing your breath when he walks into the room, like a rush you can’t control. But those feelings, she explained, are only the spark not the fire that keeps you warm when the nights get cold. Infatuation can make you dizzy, but it can also leave you unsettled, always chasing a high that doesn’t last.
Real love, she told me, is found in the man who steadies you. The one whose hand you hold and suddenly the world feels quieter, safer, more bearable. It’s in the man who doesn’t just make you laugh when life is easy, but stays when life gets heavy. The man who may not make your pulse race, but makes your soul breathe easier. Because marriage isn’t built on fleeting thrills. It’s built on trust, on showing up day after day, on choosing each other even when the excitement fades.
One day, you’ll realize that passion is not about chaos, it’s about peace. Love is not about how loudly your heart beats, but how gently it feels at home in another’s presence. And when you find a man who makes you feel safe, valued, and steady hold onto him. That is the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.
