From the song 'So Emotional' by Whitney Houston:

I get so emotional baby,
Every time I think of you.
I get so emotional baby,
It's shocking what love can do.

It was illogical, foolish, one-sided love in the movie 'The Great Gatsby.'
It was tragic.

Even when illogical, love is still beautiful.

From the song 'Count On Me' by Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans:

Count on me through thick and thin,
A friendship that will never end.
When you are weak I will be strong,
Helping you to carry on.
Call on me, I will be there,
Don't be afraid.
Please believe me when I say
Count on me.
...

I know sometimes it seems as if
We're standing all alone,
But we'll get through it
'Cause love won't let us fall...

"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend."

The husband clearly did not respect his wife in the movie 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman.'
Watching his anger and disgust in the movie makes you wonder whether he ever really loved her...

- Frankie Byrne

Love and respect go hand in hand. Not only should loved ones be respected, but neighbors and acquaintances as well.
