Every Single Day In A Marriage, We

I Would Encourage You To Make Your Own Investigation Of The One Whom, As He Died, Prayed For Those Who Killed Him: 'father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do.' That Is Love's Ultimate Expression.

What Is Emotional Intimacy? It Is That Depp Sense Of Being Connected To One Another. It Is Feeling Loved, Respected And Appreciated, While At The Same Time Seeking To Reciprocate. To Feel Loved Is To Have The Sense That The Other Person Genuinely Cares About Your Well-being. Respect Has To Do With Feeling That Your Potential Spouse Has Positive Regard For Your Personhood, Intellect, Abilities And Personality. Appreciation Is That Inner Sense That Your Partner Values Your Contribution To The Relationship.

Don't Be A Victim Of The Urgent. In The Long Run, Much Of What Seems So Pressing Right Now Won't Even Matter. What You Do With Your Children Will Matter Forever.

Ask Yourself: Does The Action I Am Considering Have Any Potential For Dealing With The Wrong And Helping The Relationship? And Is It Best For The Person At Whom I Am Angry? The Two Most Constructive Options Are Either To Confront The Person In A Helpful Way, Or To Consciously Decide To Overlook The Matter.

The In-love Experience Does Not Focus On Our Own Growth Or On The Growth And Development Of The Other Person. Rather, It Gives Us The Sense That We Have Arrived And That We Do Not Need Further Growth.
