Successful Relationship Reading Corner
 In this week's blog we asked why are acceptance, appreciation and acknowledgement important in your relationship? Other people write about these, sometimes choosing slightly different A-words.
The 3As in Relationship Success: Acceptance, Appreciation, Acknowledgement "This is when being able to fully accept your lover is essential. It doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything they say, do, or believe. But you have to know that this is who they are. They are not you and for some people this can be upsetting. I know, hard to believe, but it is amazing how many people come into my office wanting me to change their partner — make them understand how incorrect they are in their beliefs and actions. This is non-acceptance at its highest form."
Learn the 5 A's of Relating "We all crave something in relationships. This is why you are reading this blog. This is why you have sought out relationships of every kind for your entire life. We are innately social creatures, constantly seeking something from others, and giving that something back to others in the process we call relating. We’ve seen it in the movies, romance novels, success stories, and the like. We seek it subconsciously every day, but how do you describe it? What is it, exactly? The closest I’ve come to understanding what “it” is came when I learned the 5 A’s of relationships."
Being accepted and appreciated for who you are "What could be more fundamental to a healthy, loving relationship than being accepted and appreciated for who you are? And yet, it's a common issue. Why is that? One set of reasons boil down to challenges in communication and interpretation."
