Trust is to human relationships what faith is to gospel living. It is the beginning place the foundation upon which more can be built. Where trust is love can flourish.

Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option to me divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.

It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years it's a failure.

I have a tendency to sabotage relationships I have a tendency to sabotage everything. Fear of success fear of failure fear of being afraid. Useless good-for-nothing thoughts.

My experience with both my parents is that grief has a lot of down sad things but I was also really emotionally raw in the first year after each of them passed. Flowers smelled more intensely my relationships were hotter and I was more willing to risk. I was going for it a lot more. I was 'unsober' and I wasn't playing by my rules.

When you're a soul singer I'm singing a lot of songs about love and relationships that I think a lot of girls really relate to. For whatever reason that seems to get 'em excited. The DJ everyone always says the DJ gets all the chicks but that's never been my experience.

I maybe had a first love and had my heart broken but reflecting on it I don't think that was love. I think as I'm getting older and having more in-depth relationships maybe I'll experience it. At the moment I don't know exactly if I've been in love.

When you make a commitment to a relationship you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.

The more connections you and your lover make not just between your bodies but between your minds your hearts and your souls the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship and the more real moments you will experience together.
