Kindle Notes & Highlights
Intimacy is being transparent, building trust, and allowing another to look deep into your soul.
The most important thing to know about finding true love is that you must first love yourself.
The key word in a marriage that spirals upward is cooperation. The key word in a marriage that spirals downward to destruction is control.
To make yourself the most attractive you can possibly be, take care of your body, stimulate your mind, find peace and happiness in your heart, and provide for your soul.
You cannot genuinely love someone if you do not accept him or her for who he or she is—even if that someone is you.
accepting another as he or she truly is has the power to lead him or her to fall in love with you.
Criticism, contempt, and emotional abandonment can be powerful weapons to coerce behavior or thinking.
The single most important ingredient between partners is respect.
Honesty in a relationship begins with giving each other permission to be truthful.
Even when you do not agree, you must treat each other with respect if you wish for your marriage to last a lifetime.
Remember, emotions are always true for the person who has them. Denying that person the reality of those emotions demonstrates disrespect.
