People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.

The one who loves the least, controls the relationship.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

There's the right person, or right people, for each other. There is that order that's searching to be found but, I think, it's not as if everything is going to be automatic. So, people could really be meant for each other and its goes awry; or they could have to learn or develop and grow up together. Grow to be right together.

What will support any relationship is clear, complete and conscious conversations when upsets or breakdowns occur.

I always say you have to be willing to get your heart broken.

The best relationship is one that does not foster too much independence nor too much dependence, but exists in the healthy interdependence zone.

Relationships, it seems to me, are timeless. What works between two people always works; what doesn't is always troublesome. Over time, people learn - or not - how to negotiate what's difficult, but that doesn't mean the misfit has gone away entirely.

I feel like we can't pick who we fall in love with because if we could, we would all make better choices. Your heart just falls where it falls.
