Love is the most powerful weapon in the world for good. I really believe that.

People tend to criticize their spouse most loudly in the area where they themselves have the deepest emotional need.

If I walk in the house, and I greet my wife, and I give her a hug, kiss her on the cheek, and I say to her, "Honey, how'd your day go," and I listed to how her day went.

Love is always freely given. Love cannot be demanded. We can request things of each other, but we must never demand anything. Requests give direction to love, but demands stop the flow of love.

The object of love is not getting something you want but doing something for the well-being of the one you love.

Isolation is devastating to the human psyche.
