Positive factors in my immediate relationships are respect, affection, empathy, laughter, understanding perspectives and being helpful. These aspects of my relationships are what maintain and develop these relationships. Challenges in the relationships are unhealthy dependency patterns, misunderstanding perspectives, time, and individual intentions. Understanding that relationships grow from positive outcomes and difficulties are important. Special characteristics of my relationships and partnerships are genuine care for one another’s well being and engaging in aiding in the development of that well being.
"Good relationships depend on finding a reasonable balance between being able to track your own feelings at the same time as you track other people's" -Sue Gerhardt "Why Love Matters"
