Love?

To love is a choice. It is a commitment. It is not something you can turn on and off. If someone has told you they "fell out of love", they probably never really, truly loved you to begin with. Sometimes we "fall out of love" when it gets too hard for us to deal with making the relationship work.

There were days when I looked at Jim and wondered..."Is this it? Is this enough?" and days where I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

That is the ebb and flow of love. Underneath it all, was totally attached to this person and I loved him unconditionally. This is hard for many people to accept - that love doesn't always feel good. Sometimes love can be crappy, but you forge through it. But, you do need both partners (whether lovers or family or whomever) to have made the CHOICE to continue to plow through it and make the love work.
