Romantically? I don't suppose that there's much choice to falling in love. But continuing to love someone once the honeymoon glow wears off, and it's not always as happy and easy? I think that is, to some degree, a choice you make.
Past that point its work. Just like work it helps to want to do it in the first place, and there are rewards in it for you, but its still a conscious effort.
