A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment.

It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend.

Relationships are about helping motivate each other to be all that you can be.

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.

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

I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.

Relationships have to have a give and take if they're going to work in the long term.

The most special relationships, in my experience, are based on a combination of trust and mutual respect.

I am skittish about relationships, as most of the marriages I've seen up close have been ruinous for one or both parties.

In marriage, compromise nurtures the relationship.
