Love isn’t blind.

Infatuation is.

Patience (love) opens our eyes.

Every heart longs to love…

and to be loved.

But longing alone is not enough.

Love grows where truth is welcomed.

It struggles where fantasy replaces reality.

THE GARDEN

A beautiful relationship resembles a healthy garden.

It is planted carefully.

Watered faithfully.

Protected wisely.

Given time to grow.

The strongest roots are formed before the first blossoms appear.

WORTHY NOTE

Character is more attractive than charm.

Integrity lasts longer than excitement.

THE INVITATION

Ask better questions.

Observe carefully.

Listen deeply.

Honor yourself.

Respect others.

Never confuse attention with affection.

PUT LEGS ON IT

Become the kind of person you hope to meet.

Healthy people recognize healthy people.

RICHIE’S OBSERVATION

The best relationships I have witnessed were never built in a hurry.

They were built on trust, truth, patience, and friendship.

FINAL THOUGHT

Love grows best in wisdom.

Everything else eventually asks to borrow it.
