Random Quote We write to expose the unexposed. If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must. Otherwise, you're just be rearranging the furniture in rooms you've already been in. Most human beings are dedicated to keeping that one door shut. But the writer's job is to see what's behind it, too see the bleak unspeakable stuff, and to turn the unspeakable into words - not just any words, but if we can, into rhythm and blues. -- Anne Lamott

If there is an atom to relationships, I think it's this: Expressed belief in the other person. Whether it's friendships, couples, or family ties, the one thing most attractive and ensuring of longevity is, after a lot of consideration, expressed belief. |

I think this is true, although I've usually reduced it down to expressions of respect and sincere appreciation. The research and surveys supporting this idea in various ways usually use these terms as well. Interestingly, in that research, these things tend to show up higher in the hierarchy of needs for men than women, so I usually include that in my evaluation of cultural trends and consequences. |
