I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday.
Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is a commitment.
Love is a verb.
Love is a choice.
Life is filled with opportunities to express love by acts of service.
Discovering your own love language helps you understand why you feel more loved and appreciated by certain people than you do.
The best thing we can do with the failures of the past is to let them be history.
But if, once we return to the real world of human choice, we choose to be kind and generous, that is real love.
It may surprise you that the primary lifetime threat to your child is his or her own anger.
We even fall in love with love.
Mark Twain once said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.
Inside every child is an ‘emotional tank’ waiting to be filled with love.
People tend to criticize their spouse most loudly in the area where they themselves have the deepest emotional need.
Conflicts are not a sign you’ve married the wrong person. They simply affirm you are human.
Love doesn’t erase the past, but it makes the future different.
Our most basic emotional need is not to fall in love but to be genuinely loved by another, to know a love that grows out of reason and choice, not instinct. I need to be loved by someone who chooses to love me, who sees in me something worth loving.
True love cannot begin until the “in love” experience has run it’s course.
People do not get married planning to divorce. Divorce is the result of a lack of preparation for marriage and the failure to learn the skills of working together as teammates in an intimate relationship.
What we dislike in others is often a weakness in our own lives.
Love is a choice you make every day.
