One intriguing thing about knowledge is, it can come from ANY source…the same is true about relationship advice. They can come from
(i) Those that got it right,
(ii) Those that made a mess of it and learned a lesson or two
(iii) Those that know the right things to do but just won’t do it (there is this wise saying that even a dead watch/clock is right twice a day)
I compiled a list of some love quotes and
advice given by celebrities and they make so much sense…but always remember,
the best relationship advice is “KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR YOU”
Here are some of them:
"Solve problems as soon as possible…together"
Mala K. (Nip it in the bud)
"There should be no secrets between us." Yukari T. (If it would cause issues when found out, say it now)
"Be independent before entering a relationship. It's better when two people want each other more than they need each other." Katrina W. (interdependent relationships work better than co-dependent ones)
"Everyone has a past…good or bad. Don't let your partner's past ruin your future." Camz G. (If it already happened before you met and you can handle it, let it stay buried)
"Don't punish your partner for your ex’s mistakes." Anita M. (Leave the baggage of past relationships where they belong…in the past)
"Admit when you're wrong and don't gloat when you're right." Carole S. (come on, It is not a competition)
"Never chase. Always be chased. If he isn't willing to pursue you, he isn't worth your time." Dez M. (Women, let him do the wooing)
"Talk to him like he's someone you love…even when you're furious with him." Ginny M. (Let love be your motive even when you are correcting and angry)
"Trust him until you're given a reason otherwise." Lacy W (Give everyone the benefit of doubt)
"If you don't love ‘em like crazy, you don't
love ‘em enough." Christelle F. (If you are not ready to give all,
don’t bother going into the relationship)
"Appreciate the little things." Dawn-Marie D. (Take nothing for granted)
"Talk to each other about problems not friends and family." Alicia J. (Discuss issues not people)
"Life is so much better when you show each other how much you care." Jessica J. (Don’t just say it…show it)
"Differences are inevitable, so compromise and respect are key" Danica T. (Compromise is the antidote to our differences)
"Always look and smell better than your man." Rose M. (Don’t ever stop being beautiful for your man)
"Jealousy is a waste of time and energy." Codi T. (If there’s a reason to be jealous, talk about it…never let it find root)
Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy. Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers, or by using the words 'forever.' But love can only truly be measured by actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it. Marian Keyes
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. Thomas Merton
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. John Lennon
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. Ellen DeGeneres
There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love. Bryant McGill
If you're married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife 'I love her' the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity? And that's how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ is that it is the most important thing in my life Tim Tebow
Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods. Denis Waitley
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. Mother Theresa
Let me end with this scripture in Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel…”
