A life of well-being, meaning and purpose.
What relationships need are partners who will make investments in the relationship; who seek first to understand, then to be understood; who try to see from the other person’s viewpoint; and who ask how they can help, rather than jumping in with their own solution. These are ways to develop an Excelerated Relationship™ and nurture your ties with others.

Nurturing healthy relationships includes making frequent deposits into the emotional bank account, especially of those closest to us.
