The idea that Love Must Be Tough dictates that we be willing to set another person free- even if it causes us great pain to let go. When we do this, we maximize the chances that that loved one will not leave, because the cage door has been opened and self-respect has been affirmed. James Dobson
About This Quote

Love Must Be Tough. If you are in a relationship, you need to be willing to let go of the person if they don't treat you right or hurt you. You need to know that you are not the center of their universe.
