Meaningful Quotes on Relationships

If you don't listen to yourself, it's unlikely that anyone else will.

When to talk: Not when your partner needs some space or time to be alone.

What we can't tolerate in others is what we can't tolerate in ourselves.

The simple failure to acknowledge what the other person says explains much of the friction in our lives.

When feelings of not being understood come out as anger, hearing them, not shutting your ears or fighting back, is the key to calming things down.

Don't tell angry people to calm down. Doing so only makes them feel like you're denying their right to be upset.

Sharing problems makes people feel better. Listening is how we help them soothe themselves and how we build closer relationships.

Once you accept that the people who push your buttons are who they are, you can stop trying to change them - and stop overreacting when they do what they've always done.

Couples who learn to listen to each other - with understanding and tolerance - often find that they don't need to change each other.

The great challenge in courtship is to be together and still be yourself.

If you want truth from our partners, we must make it safe for them to tell it.

No one benefits when weaknesses or shortcomings become the principal focus of attention in a relationship.

Holding on to resentment of people you have work with punishes you as much as it does them.

You don't change relationships by trying to control other people's behaviour but by changing yourself in relation to them.

doesn't it hurt
when you get unnoticed,
when your left out,
when you efforts are being neglected?

it sure does...
especiallyif you've done so much
for them
and not for yourself

but i am left alone
in my own world
doing what i do
feeling neglected

i am a giver
much less of a receiver
happiness is instilled
in my giving

i feel like a loner
I crap
I lame
but it is not myself

neglection hurts
especially when
you expect something
in return. . . . . .

Love is,
Bastion against instability.
Spice in a stagnant uneventful life.

basking in the throes of love,
one might mistake it for lustful passion.
but diving deeper into ur heart, recognize
It for wat it is.

Breathe.... for chances passes u by,
without a chance to thrive.
it is up for grabs,
provided u r willing to.
Received mine, and cherish it i will
