You marry at the level of your own psychological health.

You have control over three things - what you think, what you say, and how you behave. To make a change in your life, you must recognize that these gifts are the most powerful tools you possess in shaping the form of your life.

You have the greatest chance of being happy when the voice you respond to is your own voice.

When men are just desserts - that is, when a man is an enhancement to the already complete and satisfying life of a woman who makes choices and takes action - you will be able to choose a partner without surrendering who you are. Most of all, when men are just desserts, you may choose to be in the arms of a man, but need never fear falling into his hands.

Don't count on others to hand your life to you.

No matter what you do in life, someone important to you isn't going to like it.

The only person you will live your entire life with is yourself.
