Hope and encouragement

We are a big part of so many loving relationships that connect us with hope and encouragement. Yet we have spent so little time considering the dynamics of what makes them work. Each day we interact with significant people who affect our well being, such as husbands, wives, parents, sons and daughters. We sometimes ignore the fact that they have the power to bring us laughter or tears, joy or despair. Our survival is dependent on healthy relating. The interaction of people getting along in harmony is the highest and most demanding form of human behavior. The more we learn about problem solving in relating, the greater will be our ability to love each other.
