“Long-distance relationships are another way of avoiding intimacy.”

“It's all well and good saying you avoid pain by avoiding relationships, but what about the wonderful things you're avoiding as well? What about the joy and the intimacy and the trust that come with finding someone you love?”

“Basically, secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving; anxious people crave intimacy, are often preoccupied with their relationships, and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back; avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.”

“Another way of remaining in intimacy with God is by remaining in His presence.”

“Let me tell you, there's no long-distance relationship like an interstellar one.”

“With relationship comes access, and with intimacy comes influence.”
