Over the long haul, many of those people [in a difficult marriage] will begin to reciprocate, because you are meeting a basic need in their life, the need for love, and they know they don't deserve love many times.

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

If you grew up in a dysfunctional family, then there is really no hope for you to have a good relationship. That is another myth that we have to throw off, so that we can get into what I call Reality.

We can look at the pain in our lives. We can look at the way we have been mistreated, and we can have an attitude of, I will never amount to anything. I have been wrong about people all my life. I am going to pay somebody back for this.

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

A child may be "spoiled" by a lack of training or by inappropriate love that gives or trains incorrectly.

I think people desperately want to feel love.
