“Each of the divine persons centers upon the others. None demands that the others revolve around him. Each voluntarily circles the other two, pouring love, delight, and adoration into them. Each person of the Trinity loves, adores, defers to, and rejoices in the others. That creates a dynamic, pulsating dance of joy and love. The early leaders of the Greek church had a word for this – perichoresis. Notice our word “choreography” within it. It means literally to “dance or flow around”.”

“In the seventh century, John of Damascus described the relationship of the three persons of God as perichoresis. This word literally means "the circle dance.”

“That’s love: Two lonely persons keep each other safe and touch each other and talk to each other.”

“But they love each other. Isn't that what love means? That you're supposed to be there for the other person to turn to, no matter what?”

“Early love is exciting and exhilarating. It's light and bubbly. Anyone can love like that. But after three children, after a separation and a near-divorce, after you've hurt each other and forgiven each other, bored each other and surprised each other, after you've seen the worst and the best-- well, that sort of love is ineffable. It deserves its own word.”

“Whoever said men hit harder when women are around, is right. Word for word, we beat the love out of each other.”
