Relationship Analysis
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- WHO GETS THE MOST OF WHAT THEY WANT from the relationship.
- The GREATEST STRENGTH of the relationship, and HOW TO CAPITALIZE ON IT.
- The GREATEST WEAKNESS of the relationship, and HOW TO MINIMIZE IT.
- The MOMENT OF GREATEST STRESS, and WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
- The BEST METHOD FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS.
This analysis will help you to examine the ten most important traits in a primarily good relationship to determine the degree to which each trait is present or absent. It is designed for relationships in which there is no physical abuse, no sexual abuse, and very little if any emotional abuse. If you know you are in an abusive relationship, some of the advice you will read here will not apply to you! (Bottom line: Abuse is wrong and needs to be stopped – or escaped – regardless of all other factors.)

Our Philosophy
Therapy information should be free or as inexpensive as possible.
Every topic here has something of value for you.
Come back regularly to read everything,
even the titles that don’t seem to relate to you.
Let me know if you think you wasted your time.
Please keep up the good work. Your articles are short and simply written. This was a bit of a put-off at first, but I’m finding I really enjoy the lack of an academic feel that many other writings in this genre present. Your site is helpful, approachable, and completely devoid of judging.
Thank you so much. I’m telling my friends about it.
