Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.

So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.

When you make the sacrifice in marriage you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.

I might get drunk one day and fall in love or fall over a hooker outside and I would have consummated a relationship that I couldn't necessarily believe in.

There is only one secure foundation: a genuine deep relationship with Jesus Christ which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around you'll stand firm if you stand on His love.

The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and in a sense tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother and to become fully independent.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace.

You want to believe that there's one relationship in life that's beyond betrayal. A relationship that's beyond that kind of hurt. And there isn't.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.
