Thumbnail wisdom about relationships
- Almost all relationships begin with someone who looks good, feels good, smells good, sounds good, and tastes good.
- All relationships are about making choices
- The “new” and “exciting” in relationships always wears off…always
- Soulmates are not ‘found’ they are ‘created’
- The best and worst characteristics of the family in which you were raised colors with whom you choose to be in relationship
- Your feelings are liars and will lie to you about what ‘love’ is
- Love is a verb…has little to do with how you feel
- Few know how to listen assertively without judgment or how to speak without criticism
- Conflict is just growth trying to happen between two people who have no idea or plan how to make the growth happen
- Financial maturity and sexual maturity are learned skills and can be mastered or suffered through
- If you are stuck on defining your relationship by “What’s In It For Me” rather than having a servant’s heart…”How can I serve you best?” …your are doomed to misery and pain.
- Nobody teaches you the nuts and bolts of these things…nobody. Our society assumes you will somehow figure it out. That is criminal.
- You can find somebody who can teach you how…just ask.
