I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.

My mom raised me to never have anything control me.

I am marrying her because I love her.

In my life, things have happened to me. I've never felt I was controlling anything.

I call myself taking control of a situation, but sometimes you really have to learn to humble yourself and to submit yourself. I'm not really good with submission, so that's the part of marriage and relationships that I've found very hard to deal with.

I don't really want to control anyone, to be honest.

My mother wasn't controlling at all. She was a stabilizing force who grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania. Now it's the big circle game. Taking care of her is a great blessing for me. I'll tuck her into bed, kiss her on the cheek, wipe up the mess on her blouse from whatever she spilled.

There is nothing you can control about love.

We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand. This is a lifelong relationship, and after 12 years she hasn't gotten rid of me yet.
