The love expressed between partners in our Imperfect Partners couples workshop and the trust and willingness they all have to be vulnerable in front of each other and the group, has been truly inspiring. Being witness to that is such an honor. So, in tribute to them, and to celebrate the imminent holy season (Passover, Easter, Buddha’s Birthday), here are a few quotes about love to reflect on in the coming weeks. Plus, my mother will be ninety years old on Saturday! Here’s to you, mom!

“Because of deep love, one is courageous.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 
― Anonymous, Holy Bible
