“Research has found that satisfying relationships are characterized by a simple formula: two people mutually meeting each other's needs.”

“A fulfilling relationship requires that the two partners be more concerned about giving than about receiving.”

“It is imperative that you understand your own personality and emotional state at the time you enter into a new relationship.”

“It is crucial to realize that your ability to form strong and loving bonds can betray you if you do not intentionally pace a new relationship.”

“It's funny, I don't feel any older than I did when I was twenty. But I know I am, because recently some twenty-year-old called me 'sir.' Sometimes the only way you know you are getting older is by the way others treat you.”

“If your partner tells you about getting angry at a coworker and biting that person's head off, then you ought to wonder when that same attitude will be aimed at you.”

“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you've got two new people.”
