Successful Relationships

And how to avoid falling into them.

Walter Winchell
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

To have a good friend is one of the highest delights in life; to be a good friend is one of the noblest and most difficult undertakings.

How true is this!
A good friend is one of best treasures in life, yet at the same time to be a good friend is not always that easy.

We have already looked at some of the attributes of character that will contribute towards creating and maintaining a solid friendship.

Remember, we mentioned

Trust – respect – value – forgiveness and love.

There are also some things you need to avoid doing if you want your friendship to remain strong and solid.

One of the great things about a good relationship is that each person is free to be themselves. They are free to think for themselves, act for themselves and are simply free to enjoy life.

When this kind of freedom exists, there can be great fellowship and a very solid relationship.

However, not everyone is able to enjoy such freedom. Sadly many people are stuck in a suffocating relationship. I don’t think there can be much worse than being in a relationship that is full of control.
