“Many of us begin a relationship with great love, very intense love. So intense that we believe that, without our partner, we cannot survive. Yet if we do not practice mindfulness, it takes only one or two years for our love to be transformed into hatred. Then, in our partner's presence we have the opposite feeling, we feel terrible. It becomes impossible to live together, so divorce is the only way. Love has been transformed into hatred; our flower has become garbage.”

“Darling, in the past we have made each other suffer so much. both of us were victims of our anger. We made a hell for each other. Now, I want to change. I want us to become allies, so that we can protect each other, practice together, and transform our anger together. Let us build a better life from now on, based on the practice of mindfulness. Darling, I need your help. I need your support. I need your collaboration. I cannot succeed without you.”
