Most couples have not had hundreds of arguments; they've had the same argument hundreds of times.

Welcome the back talk, because it's completely natural and normal. It's actually a sign that the new idea you've planted in your mind is taking root.

One of the hallmarks of an evolved person is the ability to tell the truth with no fear of punishment or expectation of reward

One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple does not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough.

There's no such thing as a minor lapse of awareness. You're either present with what is--right here, right now--or you're someplace else.

A successful life is an authentic life. Happiness and creativity rest on a foundation of transparency to yourself and others. Knowing your own heart and speaking clearly to others keep you on the path.

The better we get, the better we want to be.
