The 365 Love Quotes Project began as a tribute to my wife for our 18th anniversary. It's an ongoing project highlighting committed-based love quotes, not just romance-based ones... one for every day of the year. This is part of my "Valentines All Year" philosophy.

THE GREAT RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLE

Friendship is the hallmark of true love. Friends treat each other as friends. Friendship is a greater predictor of success in relationships than "chemistry" or attraction or even the all elusive "compatibility". Not friends? Behave as friend consistently until in time respect develops from consistency which opens the door for friendship to be created.
