Quotes:

“The relationships that trigger us are our invitation to grow.”- Mark Groves

“We celebrate being in a relationship and a long one – but when was the last time you heard a couple celebrate how deep their relationship was?  Often people are together 75 years and don’t like each other.”

“Can you be face to face with another and still love them even if they don’t choose you? That’s unconditional love.”
