In any relationship, especially marriage, be as free of compulsive thinking as possible. In other words, the more space there is in the relationship - inner space - the more love there is because love arises out of the inner spaciousness.

Eckhart Tolle
Image
Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.
