When a man loves a woman, periodically he needs to pull away before he can get closer.

A woman's sense of self is defined through her feelings and the quality of her relationships.

We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways - the ways we react and behave when we love someone.

To love someone is to acknowledge the goodness of who they are. Through loving a person we awaken their awareness of their own innate goodness. It is as though they cannot know how worthy they are until they look into the mirror of our love and see themselves.

A women under stress is not immediately concerned with finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood

If I seek to fulfill my own needs at the expense of my partner, we are sure to experience unhappiness, resentment, and conflict. The secret of forming a successful relationship is for both partners to win.

Life is filled with rhythms-day and night, hot and cold, summer and winter, spring and fall, cloudy and clear. Likewise in a relationship, men and women have their own rhythms and cycles.
