We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways - the ways we react and behave when we love someone.

To offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesn't know what to do or that he can't do it on his own.

Men are motivated and empowered when they feel needed. Women are motivated and empowered when they feel cherished.

Just as women are afraid of receiving, men are afraid of giving.

The process of learning requires not only hearing and applying but also forgetting and then remembering again.

All men and women have an equal need for love. When these needs are not fulfilled it is easy to have our feelings hurt, for which we blame our partner.

Remember, if a man needs to pull away like a rubber band, when he returns he will be back with a lot more love. Then he can listen. This is the best time to initiate conversation.

Sensitive souls draw in the negativity of others because they are so open.

When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.

Take time off to give to yourself in a sense to fill yourself up to fullness to where now you can overflow in giving.

Love brings up our unresolved feelings. One day we are feeling loved, and the next day we are suddenly afraid to trust love .The painful memories of being rejected begin to surface when we are faced with trusting and accepting our partner's love.

A women under stress is not immediately concerned with finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood.

Today secular faith is ebbing, and it is the apostles of unbelief who are left stranded on the beach.

When a man loves a woman, periodically he needs to pull away before he can get closer.

Generally speaking, when a woman offers unsolicited advice or tries to help a man, she has no idea of how critical and unloving he may sound to him.

It is human nature to want to go back and fix things or change things that we regret.

Love brings up our unresolved feelings. One day we are feeling loved, and the next day we are suddenly afraid to trust love .The painful memories of being rejected begin to surface when we are faced with trusting and accepting our partner's love.
