- Relationships are never perfect. Problems don’t mean it wasn’t meant to be. It just means you have to work them through.
- Once love dies, you can get it back with noticing, giving each other attention and celebrating the love and life you have. Happiness is wanting what you have.
- Relationships are more than just chemistry.
- It takes more than love to have a good relationship. Particularly trust, respect and good communication.
- You can be in love and still be attracted to other people. Being in a committed relationship means that you still find others attractive and enjoy others being attracted to you, but you don’t act out on it.
- It’s not about meeting the right person as much as it is about becoming the right person. If you work on being the best you can be, it is likely you will attract someone who appreciates you and whose values are more likely to be like yours.
