Quotes from John Gray
Posted on May 21st, 2009 by Devin
Enjoy and ponder these quotes from John Gray, Ph.D, who is the author of 16 best-selling books including Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus:
- We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways - the ways we react and behave when we love someone.
- When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.
- To grow in our ability to love ourselves we need to receive love as well.
- A man’s sense of self is defined through his ability to achieve results.
- A woman’s sense of self is defined through her feelings and the quality of her relationships.
- Just as a man is fulfilled through working out the intricate details of solving a problem, a woman is fulfilled through talking about the details of her problems.
- When a man loves a woman, periodically he needs to pull away before he can get closer.
Some great food for thought! Just personally, I would say that I have found my greatest sense of self in the things that give me the deepest (godly) pleasure … beautiful music, my dogs, candlelight, the stars … I have found myself in the beautiful things of life.
