“Relationships take work; there is no way around that. You can be totally perfect for one another, you can love each other like crazy, you can be wildly attracted to one another, you can even be soul mates, and you will still have to work at it.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“An important truth to realize is that not all love is meant to last; sometimes it’s just part of the journey. Loving someone does not mean they are the right person for you. It doesn’t guarantee you a happily ever after.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“The reason most people are so jaded is they stay in relationships that aren’t working for way too long. They try to be what the other person needs, they try to make it work by any means necessary, they try with all their might and they wind up broken and defeated.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“This is not what love looks like! When someone truly loves you, you will not have to mold yourself in order to fit with him; the pieces will naturally click.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“In a good, strong, healthy relationship, you feel loved and secure. You don’t question whether your man is using you and if the things he says are genuine. You just feel at ease. Feeling constantly on edge, waiting anxiously for the other shoe to drop, is usually a sign that something is amiss and y…”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“At the end of the day, you usually already know the answers to your dating questions.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Instead I felt insecure, panicked, anxious, and perpetually on edge, but I couldn’t let go because of my strong feelings for him. Those feelings locked me in a tight grip, and it was only when the relationship inevitably imploded that I was able to see just how toxic the situation truly was. It wasn…”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“Sex life is only one piece of the puzzle, yet for a lot of couples it’s the only leg the relationship has to stand on.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“A big mistake I see women making is blaming themselves when a relationship falls apart. They torture themselves with could haves and should haves. I should have been less needy, I should have been more agreeable, I could have been more supportive, etc. Yeah, you could have done all that, but it woul…”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“He wants to make it work. He’s willing to put in any amount of effort. If there is a problem, he wants to find a way to solve it. He wants to work harder, to be better, to be his best self. The important thing to keep in mind is that people have different ideas about what it means to put effort into…”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“He communicates with you, even about tough issues and even if one of you is upset with the other.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“He has similar beliefs and values. This one seems so obvious yet it’s so often overlooked. Love does not in fact conquer all. If you are not fundamentally compatible, you will face major hurdles ahead. If he is going to be your life partner,”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“He is there for you when you need him, even if it’s inconvenient for him.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com

“The common thread in most of these cases is that these women are choosing men who clearly are not husband— or even relationship— material and hoping that by some chance the men will suddenly transform into the knights in shining armor they want.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“So many girls make the mistake of getting caught up in how the guy feels about them rather than focusing on how they feel about him.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“When you first meet someone, you want to spend every minute of every day with him. You talk for hours and hours on the phone, text all day, you can’t get enough. The obvious reason this is problematic is because you may end up relying too heavily on the relationship for your happiness, but also, you…”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“The best way to do this is to try to go slowly. Ease into the relationship instead of diving in head first. This will create an environment for you to allow your level of interest and attraction to grow steadily over time, rather than flooding you all at once in a big emotional tsunami.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
“if you want to find lasting love and prevent yourself from getting hurt, you’ll need to learn how to use your head little more than your heart, at least in the beginning.”— Sabrina Alexis, amazon.com
