Gary Chapman
We strive to love each other but we often go about it in the wrong ways. This book helped me to understand why this happens and how to both ask for the love I needed and also try to give the love others needed. It’s a continual work in progress.
“Little by little, the illusion of intimacy evaporates, and the individual desires, emotions, thoughts, and behavior patterns assert themselves. They are two individuals. Their minds have not melded together, and their emotions mingled only briefly in the ocean of love. Now the waves of reality begin to separate them. They fall out of love, and at that point either they withdraw, separate, divorce, and set off in search of a new in-love experience, or they begin the hard work of learning to love each other without the euphoria of the in-love obsession.” ~Gary
