How to know if a relationship is right.

Sometimes it can happen that when a certain two people are together, each one is a bigger person, a better person, than either of them is separately. There really are some like that. It's not a fairy tale -- just rare.

If you find the person who makes you feel that way -- not by browbeating you or anything like that, but by inspiring you just by who they are -- to find the "best self" you didn't know was in you... that's the right person. That's "as good as it gets" in this life.

(p.s. I'm not a guy, but gender doesn't make a difference.)



Loving You Makes Me a Better Man

Sung by Vince Gill, lyrics by Rodney Crowell.

Loving you makes me a better man
There's things I don't know how to do
But you make me think I can

I've got a long way to go
But I know what I know like the back of my hand
Loving you makes me a better man

I've been wrong, more than I care to say
Time after time I've been lost
Just couldn't find my way

You shed a light on a path through the night
Leading right to the side where I stand
Loving you makes me a better man

I made mistakes, didn't have what it takes
Just to walk out, leave it alone
I've got a long line of heartaches that followed me home

Time goes on and I watch it disappear
I've got a mind of my own
Now that I have you near

You came to me and it's easy to see
There's a line that I've crossed in the sand
Loving you makes me a better man
Loving you makes me a better man
