Marriage:
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Antoine De Saint-Exupery
The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make -- not just on your wedding day, but over and over again -- and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
Barbara De Angelis
Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.
Barbara De Angelis
Friendship
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same.

Without friends no one would choose to live.
Aristotle
A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
Arabian Proverb
Family (includes fathers, mothers, etc)
The greatest gift I ever had Came from God, and I call him Dad!
Anonymous
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
Lydia M. Child
God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers
Jewish Proverbs
An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.

Sister
Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
Margaret Mead
You know full well as I do the value of sisters' affections: There is nothing like it in this world.
Charlotte Bronte
Brothers
There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother. ~Astrid Alauda
The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble. ~Clara Ortega
Grandparents
A child needs a grandparent, anybody's grandparent, to grow a little more securely into an unfamiliar world. ~Charles and Ann Morse
A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart. ~Author Unknown
Aunts/Uncles
“Only an Aunt can give hugs like a mother, can keep secrets like a sister, and share love like a friend.”
~ Spanish Proverb
I miss my aunt and my uncle very much and there are not enough words to express how much they mean to me.
I think that sums up some of the various types of love and there is one that still amazes me I can't believe how much I have loved being an aunt it started with little Lexus she was sunshine to the darkness in my soul I couldn't help but love her. Now her sister Kaylee, my nephew Gaige and little Ella have joined places in my heart. It's amazing to me that I can love each of them so fully although they are all different. I never thought I could love them so much they have cleared away the sorrow and pain in my heart and I couldn't love them anymore. I think of them, pray for them and would walk through fire to protect them I never thought I could love a child that was not my own so much.
