I think people desperately want to feel love.

Good marriages are built upon a combination of emotional love and a common commitment to a core of beliefs about what is important in life and what we wish to do with our lives. Speaking each other's primary love language creates the emotional climate where these beliefs can be fleshed out in daily life.

Love makes requests, not demands.

Our spouse will usually interpret our message based on our tone of voice, not the words we use.

We cannot erase the past, but we can accept it as history.

Many couples have never learned the tremendous power of verbally affirming each other.

Love is something you do for someone else, not something you do for yourself.
