Relationship Agreements

You can create your relationships and life the way you want them to be. You must come to an agreement about how we are going to handle specific situations and then each must follow through. You can also unravel those sticky communication issues.

Opening up and telling each other how you feel is a beginning step to making agreements. You do this by not blaming but by simply saying what it is that you want and looking at possibilities. You cannot work out an agreement if you blame each other and cling to the idea that you are each"right" in the situation. In any of your relationships, you have to be willing to make the commitment to communicate with each other no matter how painful it becomes. You have to speak your truth and you have to listen without judgment to what the other person has to say.

If you aren't in the habit of creating agreements with the people you live with or work with, start now. When you do, your relationships will go from where they are to where you have always hoped they would be!
