A Zimzum is creating a space for another to thrive.

In marriage it's important to have a vision together.

If you bring something to the space of your marriage that you haven't dealt with it will continue to negatively affect you and your relationship until it's resolved.


The score card is at the heart of a number of extraordinary fights. I loved the thoughts on the scorecard.

In marriage there's the combination of three loves: spark, substance, and sacrifice.

What are the Asians thoughts and philosophy on marriage? I never hear about it.

You know there's an issue behind the issue when your reaction is way out of proportion to the thing you're fighting about.

Sarcasm is rooted in unresolved issues. I hate sarcasm so much and it does no good at all.

Marriage is good for the world because love overflows past a couple to others.

Spirituality isn't about escape from this body from the world, it's about being fully present.

Creation always involves risk.

They ripped off the train poem from Inception!
