NOTABLE QUOTES:
“We have to learn the skills to have a healthy relationship when we’re younger … If you don’t know it, you’re just going to crash and burn; you’re just going to go tumbling down that bridge.”
“The hardest job you’ll ever have is being married.”
“Not only is it like not learning the skill to have a healthy relationship from the people that you witnessed growing up, but then you have all these unrealistic expectations of what a healthy relationship is. So it’s like, how are we supposed to succeed at this and be happy.”
“What we do as men many times is we’re not able to give our wives what they need. They need to know from us. It is their relational oxygen. They need to know what’s going on with us on the inside. They need to know our hopes, dreams, feelings, and emotions.”
“Your marriage is infinitely more important than any job or hobby.”
“All relationships are a risk, but they are never a waste.”
“True wealth is in relationships.”
“Success is getting up one more time than I fall down.”
“Science shows we raise good kids through modeling … If you carve out a life for yourself and you’re committed to finding your own joy and contentment, there’s a good chance that you’re going to raise kids who will value the same thing.”
