Two halves do not make a whole when it comes to a healthy relationship: it takes two wholes.
The only way a relationship will last is if you see it as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
Genuine relationships depend first on a healthy relationship with ourselves.
The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves.
A healthy relationship is built on unwavering trust.
Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and intellectual levels - the levels of purpose, motivation, interests, dreams,and personality.
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are.
It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
A real, healthy relationship is about empowerment and love and that should be standard - but it isn't.
You've got to love yourself first, and until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship.
An intimate relationship does not banish loneliness. Only when we are comfortable with who we are can we truly function independently in a healthy way, can we truly function within a relationship. Two halves do not make a whole when it comes to a healthy relationship: it takes two wholes.
To know when to go away and when to come closer is the key to any lasting relationship.
Each relationship nurtures a strength or weakness within you.
Because of Jesus Christ, peace can replace guilt. Healthy relationships can be restored. Addictions can be overcome.
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined - to strengthen each other - to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words 'for ever.' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch.
Things must be felt with the heart.
Maturity involves being honest and true to oneself, making decisions based on a conscious internal process, assuming responsibility for one's decisions, having healthy relationships with others and developing one's own true gifts. It involves thinking about one's environment and deciding what one will and won't accept.
Focus on nurturing your healthy relationships so that they are even more loving and fulfilling.
If we want to live healthy relationships, according to biblical standards, it is done in the fullness of the Spirit.
I hope more women see, at least eventually, that a healthy relationship isn't anything that breaks you down.
