The in-love experience does not focus on our own growth or on the growth and development of the other person. Rather, it gives us the sense that we have arrived and that we do not need further growth.

Requests give direction to love, but demands stop the flow of love.

What is emotional intimacy? It is that depp sense of being connected to one another. It is feeling loved, respected and appreciated, while at the same time seeking to reciprocate. To feel loved is to have the sense that the other person genuinely cares about your well-being. Respect has to do with feeling that your potential spouse has positive regard for your personhood, intellect, abilities and personality. Appreciation is that inner sense that your partner values your contribution to the relationship.

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

In marriage it is never having my own way. It is rather discovering our way.

I am not minimizing emotions. Emotions are an important part of life.

Love is a choice you make everyday.
