More Quotes for a Healthy Relationship

As the “day of love” comes nearer, most couples are likely in the throes of planning something special to celebrate their relationship. While celebrating on this special – albeit Hallmark – holiday is a great thing, I think it is more important to have a healthy relationship on a daily basis.

One highlight a year – great. 350 good days together – even better. (I pulled that number out of thin air, but you get the point.)

So, with healthy relationships in mind, here are some relationship quotes that may inspire, serve as a reminder, or simply make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
