The person who is "in-love" has the ilusion that his beloved is perfect.

We can choose the attitude that says, I have been wronged. People have hurt me, but with the help of God, I am going to learn how to return good for evil, and I am going to make a difference in this world.

Every single day in a marriage, we influence each other. It is a matter of am I going to have a positive influence or a negative influence?

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

We are trained to analyze problems and create solutions. We forget that marriage is a relationship, not a project to be completed or a problem to solve.

Physically abusive and verbally abuse marriages are very, very difficult situations. I fully understand people in those kinds of marriages who think there is no hope. I also know that the advice that is given by most people is simply... get out of there as fast as you can.

True love cannot begin until the "in love" experience has run it's course.
