Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Cherry Norris
Commit to the Relationship, Not the Person. Do your part and hope (to God) your partner does theirs.
Never Trust Anyone. People are human and they will say one thing, then turn around and do something else. Instead, take a risk on a person and build a trustworthy relationship.
If he/she is 51%...Keep them. If your partner is more "good" tha "bad", you've got a good deal.
Conflict builds Intimacy. NEVER argue with ANYONE you don't want to build with!
Give your partner the Right to be Wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Acknowledge it, respect it, and negotiate for an agreement between you.
