To find True love, you must first find a true friend. Love does not consist of gazing into each others eyes but rather gazing outward together in the same direction.

To love someone completely you must love them for who they are, not what you want them to become, or what you think you can 'change' them into for then you would not be loving them but loving your vision of them.

Friendship is the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.

Make your partner your BEST friend, the one you can Giggle with, the one you can tell all your secrets to and be assured that's where they will remain, share your dreams, your losses, your hopes, your fears.

Make sure your Partner is the one who will sing your "Lifesong" even after you've forgotten the words.
