Whatever language we use use to describe healthy relationships, when we’re in them, we feel nourished by them, in body as well as mind.

A relationship is the union of two psychological systems.

Science tells us that love not only diminishes the experience of physical pain but can make us—and our beloveds—healthier.

When we develop our ability to love in one realm, we simultaneously nourish our ability in others, as long as we remain open to the flow of insight and compassion.

Feelings of apathy as they relate to our relationships often stem from insufficiently paying attention to those around us.
