Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't think anything of going off for a few weeks and leaving their kids.

The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.

I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom for whatever reason the best thing to do is be open with each other talk it over try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.

The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise.

My mom drives me crazy sometimes but I have a good relationship with her.

Not to be weird but I still have an ongoing relationship with my mom even though she passed away and I've been surprised at how much I've been able to convey to her. Now I sound like a total weirdo but that's true.

I always knew I wanted kids but when my mom passed away I was like 'I want a bunch of kids. I want three kids or four kids and I want to have that relationship again.' I can't bring my mom back but I can have children.

My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life.

I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will but I'd rather have a complicated misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.

When men hear women want a commitment they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think time to act time to extend our fraternal relations time to become better men time to become better women time to become better and more independent citizens.

No gentleman ever discusses any relationship with a lady.

A lot of times women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship what men go through when they're not really dealing well.

There have been some medical schools in which somewhere along the assembly line a faculty member has informed the students not so much by what he said but by what he did that there is an intimate relation between curing and caring.

A physician's physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric's divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.

I'm receiving 300 to 500 letters every week from people telling me that God used my stories to save their marriage or to introduce them to Christ or to heal a relationship that had been broken.

I was glad to hear of that determination as I detest the practice of cousins marrying or any marriage between persons in which there can be traced the most distant relationship. I go for the improvement instead of the deterioration of our race.

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.

I love being in a relationship but marriage isn't for me.

My parents had a wonderful marriage but it was a very dependent relationship. My mother was entirely dependent on my father because that's how it was in those days.

Instead I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce with child custody with so many other avenues and it has not helped.

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.

I took the fear of marriage from my parents' relationship because I didn't want to end up in a relationship like that whereas my brothers and sisters learnt a lesson from it and made sure they didn't carry it on into their own marriages.
