I have very little faith that I'll ever find someone. I've had some bad luck and I've made some bad choices - not in men but in how I've chosen to deal with relationships.

Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.

I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.

Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.

If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence as opposed to tradition authority revelation or faith they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists.

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.

At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.

In the different voice of women lies the truth of an ethic of care the tie between relationship and responsibility and the origins of aggression in the failure of connection.

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 had such a close relationship with my dog and my dog so filled the need in my life to have children that I just wanted Cathy to have that experience.

Yes all my songs come from personal experience and relationships.

I have relationships with people I'm working with based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.

I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.

I discovered early on that some performers live their life in order to act so all their relationships are simply an experience that they can feed back into their work. Which I find vampiric.

Our thoughts have an order not of themselves but because the mind generates the spatio-temporal relationships involved in every 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.

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time you know.

OK in all seriousness I would say I couldn't be in a relationship without equality generosity integrity spirit kindness and humor. And awesomeness.
