MARITAL / COUPLES
Love is not really blind, it is super sighted. A loving person sees things in another
that non-loving eyes can never see.
You do not have to settle for your marriage being less than you want it to be. The
only limitations are set by the couple. Behavior can change, feelings can be expressed,
conflicts resolved, and communication skills learned.
FRIENDSHIP
I feel the capacity to CARE is the thing that gives life its deepest significance.
- Pablo Casals
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people
than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
- Dale Carnegie
A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff and
grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is
worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
- Dinah Craik
COMMUNICATION
Good communication requires that the communicators spend quality time together.
Quality time implies that there is no time crunch and there is no crush of a crowd
around you.
Most of us feel that others will not tolerate honesty in communication. We would
rather defend our dishonesty on the grounds that it might hurt others; and
having rationalized our phoniness into nobility, we settle for superficial relationships.
- John Powell
There are tones of voice that mean more than words.
- Robert Frost
