While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.

Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.

If I fell into one relationship after another with men who were either emotionally tuned out and unavailable or hotheaded and controlling, or both, it was because I was lacking in good sense about men.

The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you're happy, you're a better person.

I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.

I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.

Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.

I think you learn more about yourself in the context of a relationship than you can outside of it.

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 think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.
