A person's readiness to date is largely a matter of maturity and environment. - Myles Munroe

The picture that we have of ourselves — our self-concept — will always determine how we respond to life.

Once a man and woman have married, the only thing they should receive from their parents is advice and counsel, and then only when they ask for it. Parents should not offer opinions or advice without being asked. To do so undermines the development of the leadership and self-determination of the couple. When they married, the leadership and decision-making responsibilities transferred from their former homes to the new home they are building together. All leadership now devolves on them. They are responsible for making their own decisions. Part of cultivating companionship is learning how to exercise these responsibilities effectively together.

We are a sum total of what we have learned from all who have taught us, both great and small.
