Anger is frustration at the fact that we are not God, and do not have control over reality.
Henry Cloud
Image
Marriage is not slavery. It is based on a love relationship deeply rooted in freedom. Each partner is free from the other and therefore free to love the other. Where there is control, or perception of control, there is not love. Love only exists where there is freedom.

A person who hasn't grieved a significant loss has unfinished business inside and can cause others great grief as a result.
Henry Cloud
Image
When a person travels through a few years with an organization, or with a partnership, or any other kind of working association, he leaves a 'wake' behind in these two areas, task and relationship: what did he accomplish and how did he deal with people?
Henry Cloud
Image
The amount of truth a relationship can handle is proportional to the amount of perceived love that's present.

Henry Cloud

He is the Truth, and He wants us to deal in truth with ourselves and our loved ones. We want the truth about you and your family to flood into and overrun the secrets that keep you in bondage to dysfunctional behavior and relationships
