Relationships are a source of joy, care and pride when healthy ... and intense pain and shame when not. They are founded on growing and adapting to changes within the relationship and the world around. Transitions during a relationship present 'moments of truth' that, depending on how they are negotiated can either enrich or harm the - relationship.
When characterized by a generosity of spirit, mutual trust, understanding and commitment, relationships create opportunities for quality time, sharing common goals, self-learning and encourage independence and fulfillment. These core ingredients are the result of constructive action and good intention...not luck.
