“Relationship is about forgiveness and compromise. It is about balance where one person complements each other.”

“Marriage, each of them realized intuitively, was about compromise and forgiveness. It was about balance, where one person complemented the other.”

“The unusual thing about new relationships is that they innately want to become grown-up relationships as fast as they can. They do this by pulling you to learn everything you can about each other, even though the most exciting part about a new relationship is the mystery of who the other person is.”

“... to be in any sort of relationship where you do not express yourself, simply to keep the peace, is a relationship ruled by one person and will never be balanced or healthy.”

“Relationships are all about trust and equality. If one person shares, then the other person should share, too.”

“Marriage is about compromise; it's about doing something for the other person, even when you don't want to.”
