Quotes about Love and Relationships
“Associate with people who are likely to improve you.”
Seneca
“In relationships, respect means valuing each other’s thoughts and feelings, even in disagreements.”

“The best predictor of a child’s security of attachment is not what happened to his parents as children, but rather how his parents made sense of those childhood experiences.”
Daniel J. Siegel
“Build an inner circle of people with whom you can seek and share: love, truth and advice, wisdom and solutions, compassion and encouragement.”
Unknown
“Why is lust such a deadly sin? Well, in addition to the completely Spirit-destroying impact it has upon our souls, I think it is a sin because it defiles the highest and holiest relationship God gives us in mortality—the love that a man and a woman have for each other and the desire that couple has to bring children into a family intended to be forever. Someone said once that true love must include the idea of permanence.
True love endures. But lust changes as quickly as it can turn a pornographic page or glance at yet another potential object for gratification walking by, male or female. True love we are absolutely giddy about—as I am about Sister Holland; we shout it from the housetops. But lust is characterized by shame and stealth and is almost pathologically clandestine—the later and darker the hour the better, with a double-bolted door just in case. Love makes us instinctively reach out to God and other people. Lust, on the other hand, is anything but godly and celebrates self-indulgence. Love comes with open hands and open heart; lust comes with only an open appetite.”

“There’s no perfect partner…it’s all about adjustment.”
Unknown
“A woman’s heart should be so close to God that a man should have to chase Him to find her.”
“Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods; taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.”
Terry Real
“Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”
Thomas S. Monson
“The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing spiritually and coming unto Christ is the way we treat other people.”
Marvin J. Ashton
“If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently, you shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements[;] you don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.”
F. Burton Howard
“God does not look on the outward appearance. I believe that he doesn’t care one bit if we live in a castle or a cottage, if we are handsome or homely, if we are famous or forgotten. Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly[;] though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
“I never cared about the material things someone could give me, I care about time, attention, honesty, loyalty, and effort. Those gifts mean more than anything money could buy.”
