Quotes for Redeeming Love Relationships

Are you warring with your spouse? Seeking revenge on an ex? Have you been hit hard by a separation or divorce? Are you trying to "fix" someone who's making you unhappy? Are you silently sabotaging something that's pretty darn good for you?

If we can consider relationships to be the ground from which we grow the rest of our lives, we can see how our reactions to LOVE relationships restructure all aspects of our lives. It's possible to pull away from the seduction of what John Mayer calls "heartbreak warfare" through some moral support.

If you find yourself being continually triggered to fix, fight, draw in, chase out, payback or manipulate the person you say you LOVE, take HEART. I'm sharing a list of quotes I found sprinkled throughout my own journals during a time of intense counseling when I needed to learn how to become a healthy partner by doing things differently in relationships.

These memorable tidbits really helped and inspired me to change course and take a less painful road, for me and for those I loved. May they bring you the same.

Quotes On Holding the Presence of Kind and Gentle Love:

If you err, always err on the side of love

Don’t let your heart shut down. Miracles occur naturally as an expression of love.

Letting go means changing your mind about how you see a situation. Are your decisions rooted in fear or love?

Today is a new chance to do it right. Learn the lesson and live your new example today.

Develop compassion for the faults of others.


Quotes On Responding Like a Grown Up:

Extending love or projecting fear is the choice. On any day you can decide to be grown up or not.

Resist the temptation to fight fire with fire. It will only add to your already heavy burden.

As you face a “problem” remind yourself that you created it with one mind and you can solve it with another.

Never let a defining moment pass you by. There’s only a handful of them in a lifetime.

A mature adult not only takes responsibility for himself, but also requires the same from the people he loves.

To immature people, differences imply distance, a lack of love, abandonment, or rejection. To mature people, they are a challenge to grow and expand.


Quotes On Loving Yourself:

Love is boundaries. Love is consequences. Love is saying no when no is the right answer. Love is compassionately letting go of what's unhealthy.

Never, never, never try to convince someone to love you or to make someone stay who wants to leave you.

Keep asking yourself, “What do I need to do to take care of myself?”

People are funny. Some embrace you when you are down and some just don’t show up. Be smart. Move toward the embracing.

Decisiveness is impaired by over-reacting, denial, chaos, low self-esteem, repressed emotions, worrying about what other people think, telling ourselves we have to be perfect, and telling ourselves to hurry.

Instead of building a case against him or her, build a case for you.

Live your own life. Tend to your own affairs. Ask for what you need.


Quotes On Getting Through the Storm...By Faith:

You can pray to God all you want, and prayer helps, but if you are praying for a specific outcome, you are getting in God’s way.

Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

You don’t have to be blown about by every wind.

God has strategically placed you where you are. Persevere with all your heart.

Remember you are not a victim. All circumstances are divine. Do not resist addressing your problems lest they emerge stronger next time around.


Quotes On Fixing Broken People or Broken Relationships:

When I decide to stop rescuing people, I can fill a life raft for myself.

Only God can ‘fix’ other people.

People only steal the life force from me when I allow myself to continue giving to them. When I learn to use compassionate and unwavering boundaries, it is the kindest thing I can do for everyone.

People in denial are deaf to words of truth. It is an act of love to allow the spouse or lover to reap the effects of his selfishness or irresponsibility. “I may love you, but I am not paying for your problems.”

All relationships are assignments. If someone brings up weaknesses, learn to look at the battleground from above. Instead of avoiding or grabbing just be there. You can’t make it right. This is about changing your mind about how you do relationships from here on out.


Quotes On Overcoming Guilt and Regret:

I have done some bad things, but that has no bearing on who I am today.

People go places by visualizing what they want to create. I can turn my thoughts of the past into ideas for my future.
