“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“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.

“The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands.”  ~Alexandra Penney

“Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another’s personhood.” ~Karen Casey

“To find someone who will love you for no reason, and to shower that person with reasons, that is the ultimate happiness.” ~Robert Brault

“Love withers under constraints: its very essence is liberty: it is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy, nor fear: it is there most pure, perfect, and unlimited where its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve.”  ~Percy Bysshe Shelley

“A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.” ~George Jean Nathan

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.” ~Peter Ustinov

“I’m loving you because it’s natural to me. I’m loving you because I’m a lover, not even because you’re lovable. Because if I’m loving you because you’re lovable, those are strings. Then you’ve got to keep being my version of lovable to get me to feel this way about you. And that is manipulation under all standards.” ~Abraham Hicks

“Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” ~Stephen R. Covey

“The best relationship is the one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.” ~Unknown

“The essence of love begins when infatuation ends.” ~Unknown

“Infatuation is when you think that he’s as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he’s as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Conners, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger, and nothing like Robert Redford–but you’ll take him anyway.” ~Judith Viorst

“Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.” ~Leo Buscaglia

“Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.” ~Wayne Dyer

“Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love, while they have a treasure within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.” ~Eckhart Tolle

“All love that has not friendship for its base s like a mansion built upon the sand.” ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.” ~Unknown

“Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.” ~Alexander Smith
