True love cannot begin until the "in love" experience has run it's course.

I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday.

The pattern often has been entrenched since childhood... [abusive people] don't think that there is anything wrong with them because that is the way they were brought up in their family.

Every single day in a marriage, we influence each other. It is a matter of am I going to have a positive influence or a negative influence?

Much of the misbehavior of children is motivated by the cravings of an empty LOVE TANK.

We are trained to analyze problems and create solutions. We forget that marriage is a relationship, not a project to be completed or a problem to solve.

Marriages are always moving from one season to another. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter--discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime, with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On still other occasions we bask in the warmth of summer--comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.
