Love withers with predictability

Love withers with predictability;

its very essence is surprise and amazement.

To make love a prisoner of the mundane is to take

its passion and lose it forever.

Smile at each other

Smile at each other, smile at your wife,
smile at your husband, smile at your children,
smile at each other–it doesn’t matter who it is–
and that will help you to grow up in greater love
for each other.
-  Mother Teresa -

Opposites attract

Opposites attract,

but after marriage,

opposites attack.

Most of the time,

we are attracted to people who don’t have the things that we have.

Incompatibility is why we get married,

but it’s also used as a reason to divorce.

Incompatibility is just a lack of communication.

If we just try to love [our spouse] the way we want to be loved,

we are in trouble.

Unless you communicate,

it’s difficult to know how to love another person.
-  Dr. Charles Lowery -

The heart is the place

The heart is the place where we live our passions.

It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient.

There is no point in trying to deceive the heart.

It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
-  Leo Buscaglia -

My heart to you

My heart to you is given:
Oh, do give yours to me;
We’ll lock them up together,
And throw away the key.
-  Frederick Saunders -

It is the things in common

It is the things in common
that make relationships enjoyable,
but it is the little differences
that make them interesting.

Romantic love

Romantic love reaches out in little ways,

showing attention and admiration.

Romantic love remembers what pleases a woman,

what excites her, and what surprises her.

Its actions whisper:

you are the most special person in my life.
-  Charles Stanley -

What we need to know

What we need to know about loving is no great mystery.

We all know what constitutes loving behavior;

we need but act upon it, not continually question it.

Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in

the end brings us no closer to insight.

We sometimes become too busy classifying,

separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy.

It’s we who make it complicated.
-  Leo Buscaglia -

Love is that condition

Love is that condition in which
The happiness of another person
Is essential to your own.
- Robert A. Heinlein -

A part of you has grown in me

A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see, it’s you and me
Together forever and never apart,
Maybe in distance, but never in heart.
