This easy to read, plain spoken book is not only about one-on-one intimate relationships, but any situation that involves an "other." It can apply to our friends, co-workers, employers, and family members.It uses examples and humor to help you understand what makes healthy relationships by using the concept of the 3R's:Reciprocity of effort - the desire to be in the relationship is felt by both sides, and both sides make an equal effort to maintain and/or nurture the relationship. Reliability of commitment - is to be responsible. To be able to be counted on. To communicate what one can do and is willing do and then to deliver as promised.Respect for values is to take into consideration the feelings, needs, thoughts, beliefs, wishes, boundaries, preferences, individual style & idiosyncrasies of the other.The 3R's of Relationships is designed as a 130 page primer and workbook - a practical tool for everyday living with concepts you can come back to over and over.
