Love is a Fragile Thing

Love is a fragile thing
Tender to the touch
Timid at first... budding
Gentle feelings blush

"How Do I Love Thee?" - Jeffrey R. Holland
speeches.byu.edu/Feb 15, 2000 – " .... Love is a fragile thing, and some elements in life can try to break it. Much damage can be done if we are not in tender hands, caring hands. ..."

"Marriage relationships can be enriched by better communication. One important way is to pray together. This will resolve many of the differences, if there are any, between the couple before sleep comes. I do not mean to overemphasize differences, but they are real, and make things interesting. Our differences are the little pinches of salt which can make the marriage seem sweeter. We communicate in a thousand ways, such as a smile, a brush of the hair, a gentle touch, and remembering each day to say 'I love you' and the husband to say 'You're beautiful.' Some other important words to say, when appropriate, are 'I'm sorry.' Listening is excellent communication."
--President James E. Faust, "The Enriching of Marriage," Ensign, Nov. 1977, 9
