"Saying you're
sorry, when appropriate, is an extremely healing and nurturing
thing to do. It's seen by the recipient not as a sign of weakness,
but of strength. It clears the air and opens the door to forgiveness
and a fresh start. It brings trust, integrity and humility into
a relationship, three of the most beautiful qualities two people
can share."

"If your partner
can't identify and share his feelings with you, he's not ready
to be in an intimate relationship."
--Are You the One for Me?
by Barbara DeAngelis, Ph.D.
"What's the purpose
of being with someone who is emotionally shut down? Staying in
a relationship with a person who cannot share feelings is a form
of self-punishment....You deserve to have someone in your life
who shows you his love and appreciation on a consistent basis.
The opposite of emotional generosity is emotional stinginess--hoarding
love and emotions as if they were in a limited quantity and offering
you tiny pieces of one's heart...Unless you want a full-time
job as a teacher, avoid relationships with emotionally stingy
partners!"
--Are You the One for Me?
by Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D.
"If you want to
make the human connection in a loving relationship,
- tell me often that
you love me through your talk, your actions and your gestures.
Don't assume that I know it.
- compliment me often
for jobs well done and don't downgrade but reassure me when I
fail. Don't take the many things I do for you for granted.
- let me know when you
feel low or lonely or misunderstood. It will make me stronger
to know I have the power to comfort you."
--Loving Each Other
by Leo Buscaglia
"Starting each
day I shall remember to communicate my joy as well as my despair
so that we can know each other better. Starting each day I shall
remind myself to really listen to you and to try to hear your
point of view and discover the least threatening way of giving
you mine, remembering that we're both growing and changing in
a hundred different ways."
