- “I was seeking relationships to fill voids that only God could fill.”
- “When you are single, there is so much work to be done because our identities have been formed in relationship to others.”
- “Relationships define so much around us.”
- “I think God has a lot of people for us. I think marriage is one thing, and it is an important thing. But I also think the reality is we are humans, and our relationships that can be fully satisfying can function a little bit like an island of intimacy.”
- “Until we let God love us, we can’t love ourselves. And until we love ourselves, we can not love another.”
