Romantic love is a passionate spiritual-emotional-sexual attachment between a man and a woman that reflects a high regard for the value of each other's person.

Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
While loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side.

Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eye, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendships, all the enjoyment of sense and reason - and indeed all the sweets of life.

Love does not die easily.
It is a living thing.
It thrives in the face
of all life's hazards,
save one--neglect.

Some pray to marry the man they love,
my prayer will somewhat vary:
I humbly pray to Heaven above
that I love the man I marry.

The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss.

Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.
