Valentine's Day Fun with Participants!
|

 We asked a few of our participants for their opinion and advice on “love” in honor of Valentine's Day and here's what they said!
What does “love” mean to you?
“Unconditional caring for someone”
-Anonymous
“Never having to say you're sorry” -Eddie
“A dog” – Connie
What is the biggest lesson you have learned about love, relationships, or marriage?
“Love will never require you to give up your self respect or worth. If love is true, it will fulfill and nourish you in every way.” – Vicky and Rick
“Divorce is expensive!” – Charlie
Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️
