Dan Hill Quotes

The intricacies, the problems, the trials and tribulations in relationships inspire me to give words to people's journeys.

Compassion, not passion, keeps a marriage together.

Everyone says romance goes flying out the window when you've been together for an X amount of time. I think it's all up to you.

A successful marriage isn't necessarily one that lasts until you're dead.

Every relationship has its complications.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

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

We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand.

I don't know what it takes to make marriage work, but I'm going to keep trying until I get it right. I haven't given up on love or marriage.

I think anyone can fall in love, if you're open and you're willing, but the real test is sustaining it after all the excitement has worn off.

If love means never having to say you're sorry, then marriage means always having to say everything twice.

A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.
