This is a huge thing if you are going to have a positive impact on your spouse. You have to not only realize this, but you have to practice this.

Another reality about relationships is that they are never static. All of us experience changes in relationships but a few stop to analyse why a relationship gets better or worse.

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.

We fail to reckon with the reality of human nature. By nature,we are egocentric. Our world revolves around us. None of us is totally altruistic.

What we do for each other before marriage is no indication of what we will do after marriage.

At the heart of mankind's existence is the desire to be intimate and to be loved by another. Marriage is designed to meet that need for intimacy and love.

Most of us have more potential than we will ever develop. What holds us back is often a lack of courage.
