Ten Keys to Creating an Ecstatic Relationship

1. Know Thyself
First, know who you are and what you want.

2. Be ready and willing to do what's needed to create the relationship you want; go for results.  Avoid getting caught up in who is right.

3. Relationships thrive when both parties feel free to create the life they want; be willing to end codependancy.

4. The quality of our relationships are a reflection of the quality of our agreements; know your standards, boundaries and agreements - both for yourself and for the relationship.  And create solid agreements as the foundation.

5. Orient the relationship by honoring personal and professional goals that are important to both parties and nurture the common goals of the relationship.

6. Communication sustains realtionships; communicate everything that honors its growth; make a conscious choice to be consistent and keep your word.

7. Clarify the purpose of the relationship and take actions that honor it; relationships create the dynamic tension that helps us become more than we would be on our own.

8. Place attention on everything that enhances the quality of the relationship and creates a better life; doing so creates abundance.

9. Deepen your ability to live from a place of trust and the impassioned living that comes from serving others; Renew what fuels the relationship.   Being loving and serving others will bring you more happiness than being loved and served, as the latter creates dependency.

10. Create a life that is totally managed so the focus is no longer on your needs, but on empowering others--your parnter--to meet their needs.
