Relationships are Everything –They Make or Break
Life:
Our
relationships shape us from birth onwards
They grow from dependent to independent to interdependent
Relationships are NOT:
Deals
based on rules – not legal
agreements
One person owning another
Some hot emotional state
Something that can be bought
Relationship is a
new creation
where people share lives together
A relationship is a new
BIG DEAL:
It is a new creation - formed by two or more
In it, each gives over a part of self to the
other(s)
The new thing is greater than the old self(s)
It is interdependence and belonging
How does it work?
A whole new world is shaped by the bond
Decisions
are made together
A good relationship makes two lives good
