Should You Marry the Woman You Love or Love the Woman You Marry?

“The Art of Loving” by Erich Fromm (Japan)

In his classic work The Art of Loving, Erich Fromm reminded the world that love is not a feeling you wait for, but a discipline you practise.

Love is a skill that must be trained, strengthened, and applied with intention. When people learn to love with maturity, through care, responsibility, respect, and understanding, they unlock a way of living that is wiser, calmer, and far more powerful.

Fromm’s message: love is mastery. Mastery creates value.

Modern Application:

Should you marry the woman you love or love the woman you marry?  Most prefer the first. But lasting happiness comes from the second. It is easy to love before commitment; it is maturity to keep loving. Love is a practice. When you practise love, everything grows: your relationship, your career, and your life.
