I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.
You know what they say about relationships. Every waking moment's a battle.
Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother - Season 5 Episode 7
2Real relationships aren't perfect. And perfect relationships aren't real.
Relationships are scary. You don't get all that goodness and possibilities with zero risk.
Love Quinn in You - Season 2 Episode 2
1Relationships survive on trust, and if that is broken at any point, it's pretty much the end of the relationship. Besides, inability to communicate leads to problems.
In the cold you wrap me. In my uncertainty you listen. In all my joys you celebrate. At every turn you meet me with competence and grace. What a fine dance we have together.
Most people have a rope that ties them to someone, and that rope can be short or it can be long. (Be long. Belong. Get it?) You don't know how long, though. It's not your choice.
Ted: "So this is what you guys do? You invite other couples over for dinner, to judge them and feel superior?"
Lily: "Oh, grow up, Ted, that's why any couple invites anyone over ever!"
Lily: "Oh, grow up, Ted, that's why any couple invites anyone over ever!"
Lily Aldrin in How I Met Your Mother - Season 8 Episode 5
1We're still individuals, but we're individuals together, and I never knew relationships could be like this.
Building a relationship with someone is like gambling. No matter how much information you have, it's hard to predict how other people might change. I've always had the habit of keeping a safe distance from others, but in your case... I'm willing to shoulder the risk of losing a bet.
No relationship can survive secrets or lies.
No matter how much you love someone, you can still do despicable things to them.
Jin Tae-kyung: "Mom, they've been together for ten years, and they never had a fight."
Bae Soo-ja: "That's what concerns me the most."
Bae Soo-ja: "That's what concerns me the most."
Bae Soo-ja in Forecasting Love and Weather
I think every relationship is going to go through a few rough patches. Those are what make it stronger, I think.
The best relationships develop out of friendships.
As lovers, the difference between men and women is that women can love all day long, but men only at times.
There's always one who loves and one who lets himself be loved.
Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
I think long-lasting, healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership.
A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.
You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.
Doing things you don't want to do is how you make a relationship work.
Frank Gallagher in Shameless - Season 3
The true test of a relationship is traveling together.
A wife is the best companion for life.
Be honest, brutally honest. That is what's going to maintain relationships.
I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that.
I'm a good boyfriend in my sleep. I can rock a killer foot rub with one hand and brew a kick-ass pot of chamomile in the other, that would make you weep. Hell, I've forgotten more about microwaving fat-free popcorn and watching Sandra Bullock movies than you'll ever know, but: thanks for your concern, rook!
Marshall Eriksen in How I Met Your Mother - Season 5 Episode 6
That's the thing no one tells you about a new relationship. You think you're just dating one person, but the truth is: you're dating everyone that person knows - and you better hope they like you!
