Lyriq Bent Quotes

I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.

The power dynamics in a relationship are going to be fluid over a long period of time, so to wait for 'perfect' is going to be a mistake.

Our relationships, relationships between adults, how all those pieces fit together - that's the most complicated thing we all face.

Relationships, it seems to me, are timeless. What works between two people always works; what doesn't is always troublesome. Over time, people learn - or not - how to negotiate what's difficult, but that doesn't mean the misfit has gone away entirely.

All relationships are complicated in some way - you fight, you make up, you laugh, you get angry. It happens.

I think compassion is important but love fizzles out eventually. But if there is compassion in a relationship, things can always be worked out.

When people ask what I write about, that's what I tell them: 'The drama of human relationships.' I'm not even close to running out of material.

Secondly, love and relationships are complicated. No one could ever get it right in a four-line sentence.

Which is, I'm an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship.

It takes a lot of experience of life to see why some relationships last and others do not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a particular relationship. Our behavior in little every incidents tells us a great deal.

If someone had told me years ago that sharing a sense of humour was so vital to partnerships, I could have avoided a lot of sex!

Forcing people together is an enjoyable conflict to watch, but I think it's even more enjoyable if they love each other.

Agreement is never reached in love. The life of a wife and husband who love each other is never at rest. Whether the marriage is true or false, the marriage portion is the same: elemental discord.

As part of my relationship with my wife and my daughter, and we share everything and talk about everything.

My husband and I get along great. We're both introverts, and it's hard to make new friends.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don't understand each other. Not at all! But that's what makes relationships so amazing.

The dynamic between two individuals starts off with everything warm and nice and fabulous and good. Working and living together can serve you quite well, but when it starts to go wrong - oh, boy!

It's very hard to get the dynamics where two people can stimulate each other and be happy.

It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.

It's difficult to love someone you don't respect, which is hard to remember when you're having an argument.

Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?

In every relationship, there are two perspectives to it.

There is one particular argument that I call our 'ancient war.' If it could be summed up in one phrase, it would be, 'You don't get it. You don't understand what it's like to be me living with you.' There is such truth in that statement. None of us can really appreciate what it is like to be the other person, what that point of view feels like.

We never know about anybody else's relationship and how they work - particularly the ones that work for a really, really long time. I was going to say only the people in it, but often, not even they understand how it works.

I love watching how people who are in love with each other deal with each other. Every time I've had a fight with an ex-girlfriend, at the time they're horrible, but when I look back they're often funny and weird, and that kind of stuff makes me laugh.
