I had never really dated. I've always been a relationship kind of person.
Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very very well you go through the good times you go through the bad times. You know both personally but also within a relationship as well.
I am not afraid to say my relationship with my man is important even vital to who I am as a person.
When you're in a relationship with somebody who is also a public personality then it doubles the attention from the media.
And one thing that I always believed and that I knew for certain was that I could never have sustained a personal relationship while I worked this hard or while I was that driven this intensely by the story.
My personal belief is that you carry your own water in a relationship. If you see a girl and you think she's hot that's a very human reaction but you don't go and tell your spouse that you know? So in one way it's how you behave.
I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.
My family gave me values that have sustained me through situations that would challenge any person. My personal relationship with the Lord inspires me in all I do.
I'd think 'In a relationship we should never have his kind of fight.' Then instead of figuring out how to make it work I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is you shouldn't be married if your that kind of person.
If you're giving love and not receiving it you're not in the right relationship. If you're receiving it and not giving it than you are taking advantage of the other person.
It's a very difficult thing losing a parent but I think there's an added complication for me because he was so well-loved and he had this very open charm that made people feel they had a personal relationship with him.
I have my ethics and morals. I have my anchor point of what is right and wrong in real life but I'm not afraid to entertain any and every aspect of personality in relationship to creating a character.
For me I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship.
Mine is just a simple old human story - of one person trying with great rigor and discipline to comprehend her personal relationship with divinity.
When a person goes into a relationship emotionally needy they are not going to have discernment in choosing people.
What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.
So after the Lewinsky scandal everything changed and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time which were social to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.
I'm a real relationship person - contrary to public perception. I'm either in one or I'm not.
And I think if you look at any relationship for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.
I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close personal loyal relationship. I'm not as they say a potted plant in these meetings.
It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.
The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.
A relationship is lovely if you're happy comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there's nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest.
I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.
