Remember…..
We have different relationships, with different people,
for different reasons. A healthy relationship should
bring more happiness than stress into your life. Every
relationship will have stress at times, but you want to
prevent prolonged mental stress on either member of
the relationship.
Relationships need to be maintained.
Relationships need to be equal.
