Repair Your Relationship -- The Various Views of Relationships

By Antonio MacGynn

Elizabeth Ashley said: In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other likes. That is certainly better stated than anything I could come up with. In fact, when it comes to relationships, others have probably said it best. Here then are some quotes about the subject. Some are funny and some are sarcastic. Some are flip. Some are shallow. Some are very deep and moving. And some are inspired. All are insightful. Enjoy.

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." -Oprah Winfrey

"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take." -Anthony Robbins

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." " Aristotle

"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations." " Kahlin Gibran

"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." " Helen Keller

"Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made - like bread, remade all the time, made new." " Ursula LeGuin

Pretty diverse views? Perhaps. But when we build and maintain our relationships, it is imperative we see the other person's point of view. - 15431
