“Marriage now tends to be viewed as a form of mere emotional satisfaction that can be constructed in any way or modified at will. But the indispensible contribution of marriage to society transcends the feelings and momentary needs of the couple.” WayNeedsFeelingsFormEmotionalCoupleMereSatisfactionContributionMomentaryApostolic Book:The Joy of the Gospel Source: The Joy of the Gospel
“The concept of emotional or spiritual survival has an honorable history, but it does invite self-indulgence. In my own case, the worst I ever survived was severe personal and political confusion, the temptation to various sorts of craziness and a couple of bad acid trips. It felt pretty horrendous at the time, and some of it was even dangerous, but Auschwitz it wasn't.” DoeSelfSpiritualPoliticalFeltMy OwnCasesWorstDangerousEmotionalCoupleSurvivalConceptsVariousConfusionTemptationInvitesSurvivedHonorableSevereIndulgenceAcidCrazinessAuschwitzSelf IndulgenceAcid Trip Book:Beginning to See the Light: Sex, Hope, and Rock-And-Roll Source: Beginning to See the Light: Sex, Hope, and Rock-And-Roll

“What's actually amazing is that, after a couple of years of living with characters and writing characters and talking about characters, as we sit in the writers room and break episodes, it strikes you, every once in awhile, that you're talking about a character that's played by the same actor, who you've been talking about forever. We talk about a character dying, so you get emotional, and then you realize, "Oh, but wait, that actor is still on the show."” WritingYearsStillsCharacterShowsActorsWaitingRealizingRoomsTalkingBreakForeverDyingEmotionalCoupleStrikesEpisodes Author:Jeff Pinkner

“If you unite a couple on a joint fight, the question is, "Does it unite them literally, or does it weaken their love?" And if it weakens their love, is that true love? And if this is true love, then you know they should be united by their separation. It's their fight that brings them emotionally together while they're physically separated, and so, though there's physical separation, there is mental and emotional closeness.” TogetherFightingLove IsEmotionalCoupleSeparationCloseness Author:Amma Asante
“There are a couple of writers I admired who were very good at giving the character's emotion without stating what that emotion was. Not saying "He was feeling tense," instead saying, "His hand squeezed harder on the chair arm," as if staying outside the guy. I wanted to try doing that. I wanted to have a really emotional story in which the characters' emotions are never straight - out told to you, but you get it.” GivingTryingFeelingsGuyEmotionEmotionalCoupleVery Good Author:Donald E.

“Real sexual conversations are enormously intimate and beautiful because they reveal so much about who we are and what we want. What are the emotional needs we bring to our sexuality and how do we connect to ourselves and connect to a partner? There's such a rich tapestry that can be revealed, but the vast majority of couples have never had those talks.” RealBeautifulRichEmotionalCoupleSexualityIntimateTapestry Author:Esther Perel
“We met a couple months before the In the Land of Blood and Honey filming started. Angelina Jolie said, "Whatever you want, just ask for it." So we sat down and talked about it. She was great from the beginning, saying that this is essentially a story of my kind, my experience, my war, my country. In a way, she was giving us blank check to fill in the emotional landscape and do our best, really. She was really supportive and kind and open and creative.” GivingKindWarCountryCreativeEmotionalCoupleSatSupportive Author:Goran Kostic
