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.

I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday. They insist on bringing into today the failures of yesterday and in so doing, they pollute a potentially wonderful day.

We are human, which means we have the potential to make things different.

If we are to develop an intimate relationship, we need to know each other's desires. If we wish to love each other, we need to know what the other person wants.

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

The one who chooses to love will find appropriate ways to express that decision everyday.

I cannot change others, but I can influence others... we can't change people, but we can and we do influence people, and we do it every single day.
