Love is a choice you make everyday.

What we do for each other before marriage is no indication of what we will do after marriage.

I think another [myth] is that some marriages are just hopeless. This is a common thing I hear from people, "Well, I just think there are some marriages that are hopeless, Dr. Chapman, don't you agree with that?" I say I understand the feeling, but the fact is that there are no marriages that are hopeless.

Emotions are our spontaneous response to life. We have these emotions, but if the emotion is a negative emotion, then I have a choice to say, "I am feeling sad tonight because this happened, but I am not going to let my sadness keep me from engaging my wife in conversation. "

Life's deepest meaning is not found in accomplishments , but in relationships

A soft answer turns away anger.

What we dislike in others is often a weakness in our own lives.
