All humans desire to be connected in RELATIONSHIPS.
It is the chosen WAY to achieve happiness, fulfillment and love in our journey through life from birth through death and beyond.
The
attached child in the safety and acceptance of Mom and Dad; the connected teenager to friends; the exclusive relationship
of the young adult; the marriage Bond of the committed adults in a union of souls brings the individual to completeness
as a human person. The relationship bonds throughout life become the sustenance on which we evolve and blossom to fullness
as humans. The marriage Bond, therefore, becomes the crucial relationship in which the couple comeplete their development
and experience happiness.
Unfortunately, our society and our educational and religious organizations fail to
prepare or train us in the marriage relationship skills necessary for happiness in life's journey. It seems that we
are expected to know innately all about relationships. Developing healthy marriage relationships is
the most difficult and challenging task of life. It demands a willingness and openness to reveal oneself
while at the same time accepting the other person, unconditionally in order to experience the happiness of an intimate marriage.
Clearly, this is not an easy process considering the percentage of couples who began their relationship in love, only to witness
their love die in separation and divorce. We need training, guidance and above all, practice to be good in the relationship
way. Effective marriage counseling and marriage enrichment will provide the training and guidance. However, the practice
to nourish, maintain and strengthen the marriage relationship remains the responsibility of the couple. It must be the number
ONE priority.
A golf professional giving a student his first lesson said, "You are looking
for the secret to be a good golfer?" to which the student replied, "Yes". He then said, "There is
no secret, the solution to being a good golfer is PRACTICE". So it is with relationships, the sustenance of life:
we need to practice. There is no secret to creating a lasting love relationship. You fell in love and married the person of
your dreams. Success in marriage depends on how well you practice the WAYS to maintain and strengthen that love. The Relationship-Way
program will give you the WAYS to enrich your marriage or to renew your love relationship.
RELATIONSHIP-WAY IS THE ONLY WAY TO HAPPINESS. You long for
one, you search for one. When you find the one, don't ever let go. The world will bluff you with other attractions. Relationship-way
is the only way to happiness.
