"If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.
Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view.
Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.
...I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you.
...If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs, or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right - for me. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me you might come to prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences."
No one can develop freely in this world and find a full life without feeling understood by at least one person...To fail to understand one's spouse is to fail to understand oneself. It is also a failure to grow and to fulfill one's possibilities."

- David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates, Please Understand Me, Pg 1"It is quite clear that between love and understanding there is a very close link. It is so close that we never know where the one ends and the other begins, nor which of the two is the cause or the effect. He who loves understands, and he who understands loves. One who feels understood feels loved, and one who feels loved feels sure of being understood.
No one can develop freely in this world and find a full life without feeling understood by at least one person...To fail to understand one's spouse is to fail to understand oneself. It is also a failure to grow and to fulfill one's possibilities."
- Paul Tournier, To Understand Each Other, Pg 28-29"Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made, the prince and princess on their wedding day. But fairy tales usually end at this point with the simple phrase, 'They lived happily ever after.' This may be because fairy tales regard marriage as an anticlimax after the romance of courtship. This is not the Christian View. Our faith sees the wedding day not as a place of arrival but the place where the adventure begins."
- Most Rev. Robert Runcie, the Archbishop of Canterbury at the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana
