To get greater than 100% return on a growth step, give up defensiveness. Defensiveness stifles performance, and destroys relationships.
Henry Cloud
Image
Dating should be a part of your life, not your life a part of dating. There is more to life than finding a date.
Henry Cloud

There's no better way to become a disintegrated character than to be your own authority.
Henry Cloud
Image
Dating is primarily a numbers game.... People usually go through a lot of people to find good relationships. That's just the way it is.

If you want to become healthy, you have to surround yourself with a group of people that are getting healthy and you have to be connected to a community that is doing what you want to do.

Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.

There is a big difference between hurt and harm. We all hurt sometimes in facing hard truths, but it makes us grow. It can be the source of huge growth. That is not harmful. Harm is when you damage someone. Facing reality is usually not a damaging experience, even though it can hurt.

Good pain is pain in the service of a purpose. Bad pain is pain endured because we are resisting a needed growth step.

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.
Henry Cloud

The fool tries to adjust the truth so he does not have to adjust to it.

Christianity is not about morality. It's about reality.
Henry Cloud
Image
Boundaries are basically about providing structure, and structure is essential in building anything that thrives.
Henry Cloud
Image
The business of church is ultimately people. You're trying to heal people, grow people, teach people, and mend people. And when leaders spend all of their time helping and growing other people, they ignore their own growth.
Henry Cloud
Image
Spouses in healthy relationships cherish each other's space and are champions of each other's causes.
Henry Cloud
Image
Some goals are not going to fulfill you. Choose goals that you value and care about.
Henry Cloud
Image
If your boundary training consists only of words, you are wasting your breath. But if you 'do' boundaries with your kids, they internalize the experiences, remember them, digest them, and make them part of how they see reality.
Henry Cloud
Image
Encourage literally came from in courage. The courage is put into you from outside. Our character and abilities grow through internalizing from others what we do not possess in ourselves.
Henry Cloud
Image
The mature person meets the demands of life, while the immature person demands that life meet her demands.

A good test of a relationship is how a person responds to the word 'no.' Love respects 'no,' control does not.
