Soul mates' are fiction and an illusion; and while every young man and young woman will seek with all diligence and prayerfulness to find a mate with whom life can be most compatible and beautiful, yet it is certain that almost any good man and any good woman can have happiness and a successful marriage if both are willing to pay the price.
Love is not self-sacrifice, but the most profound assertion of your own needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person.
Marriage isn't about a collection of scenes over ten years of two people telling each other that they love each other. It's about commitment.
Relationships are hard, so you have to know what type of man you want by your side and what their values are, what is important in his life.
When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands.
My wife is my protector. Without her, I'm nothing. She wants to please me, and I want to please her. We've been together over 53 years.
I don't like any one race or look or type of guy. My tastes as far as looks go are very diverse. I like guys with scruffy beards and leather jackets, but I also like a clean-cut 'GQ'-type guy, so my tastes are very ranged among somebody who laughs at my dumb jokes, too. I have plenty of them.
Love yourself. Then find something to love beyond yourself.
I wouldn't mind being in a relationship, but there's no reason to marry.
I don't go out with the plan, 'Let me find a celebrity to go date.' That's just not something you do. I'm just looking for a good person, someone who can be my friend, and someone I can have fun with. She doesn't have to be a celebrity; she can be a regular chick. She's got to be smart, though. I like smart women.
Men respect women who have standards - get some!
Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up. When I get right I promise that we gon live it up.
I honestly think being single's great. Being in a relationship's great. It's all about the timing.
I kind of feel like God took away Metro Station and the greatness there so I could settle down and have my love life.
But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it.
Every girl on TV, in real life, sure you want to meet that soul mate and fall in love and have the big thing, but until that happens, you gotta kiss a lot of frogs.
You can date whoever you want, but you should marry the nerds and the good guys.
Dating is hard. It's difficult and not quantity, but quality. Finding a good person.
I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once, and you have to sustain it.
Marriage succeeds only as lifetime commitment with no escape clauses.
True love means you love a person for what they are, not for what you think they should be.
I need my man to be my homie.
I like playing these awkward moments in between that build relationships. I don’t ever want to play that character that grabs the girl and has my way with her. That’s just not who that character is. If Daryl falls in love with you, he’s going to love you for the rest of his life.
I would like a boyfriend. I'm a very happy person and it is the final, final piece of the puzzle. I'm looking for that shout-it-out-from-the-mountaintops, fall-in-love person.
My parents have been married for 42 years. Their marriage has been - from what I can see - a happy one.
