I refuse to stand up in front of a rabbi and my friends and the woman I love - who I will tell you I can love with all my heart - and promise she will be the only one I will ever have until the day I die. That's a lie.
You must have love as the core; it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.
Many married couples separate because they quarrel incessantly, but just as many separate because they were never honest enough or courageous enough to quarrel when they should have.
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
The proof of true love is to be unsparing in criticism.
Marriage requires searing honesty at all costs. I learned that from my third wife.
When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend. I can't lie like that anymore.
Personally, I think fidelity is important. I don't see any point in being together if you're not being honest, having fun together, and respecting one another. Why would you stay in a relationship otherwise?
I can't get married. I can't fake sleep for 30 years.
I'm very heterosexual, so dating women is something I'm not ashamed of. But my love life is not as exciting as it is reported to be.
Actually, my character needs to be questioned. On a regular basis. By people who know and love me.
Ask any guy if sex is important in a relationship and the one who says no is lying. I just haven't met that guy yet. When you meet him, let's get him in to the Smithsonian - he's that special and rare.
I think that being on a reality show is difficult. We're expected to be honest, and especially since we are honest, it creates issues sometimes in relationships.
My wife said to me 'I hope you win... but if you do and you go up and say you love me, don't think it makes up for never saying it when we're alone.
One of the greatest things to hear on a date is 'I never do this,' which translates to 'I pretty much always do this but I'm conflicted about it and I'd really like you to believe I don't.'
I'm not going to pretend that I am the best thing in their life and they have to be totally loyal.
I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship.
It might be that you never want to get married, or it might be that you really, really do. Either is fine. What's not fine is not to be honest about what you want.
The only tough thing is admitting to my wife how much a certain article of clothing costs.
Everyone has their first date and the object is to hide your flaws. And then you're in a relationship, and it's all about hiding your disappointment. And then, once you're married, it's about hiding your sins.
I've never had to pretend to be having sex with somebody. I'm like the queen of the foreplay dissolve.
The most valuable insight on choosing whom to love is to be honest with yourself about the man standing before you.
I don't want to lie, play games, hurt somebody, or get hurt. You can only go forward in one direction.
I think there are so many books out there written on relationships and romance that women are the authors of. How can women know exactly how men think? And there are so many guys out there with relationship books who are just not telling the truth. They have shaded parts.
When my wife and I got married, she thought of me being an easygoing person, and I warned her I wasn't.
