Love that Changes Everything

We don't have to settle for "falling in love". We can start choosing a radical, messy commitment that shows up even when life falls apart. By embracing this "all-in" mindset, we have an opportunity to transform our relationships into a steady, sacrificial love that refuses to walk away.
