16
Principles of Empowered Relationships
by
Doug & Tracy Kelley
Note:
These principles are the same characteristics that make Doug & Tracy
Kelley's relationship one of the best on the planet. They are offered
here as a list only. More will be written in time as a further means of
explanation.
These
16 Principles are meant as a stand-alone list. They are being consolidated
into 10 basic principles in a future eBook.
-
Know
and accept yourself

For
personal/intimate relationships, find someone with whom you have much in
common (high compatibility)

Show
mutual honor and respect for personal boundaries (yours and theirs)
-
Communicate
-
Never
betray another’s trust
-
Be
open to change, new ideas, and others’ points of view—be flexible

Don’t
try to change, control, or manipulate others—accept others for who they
are, not who you want them to be

Have
realistic expectations of yourself and others—no perfectionism
—allow yourself and them to be "human"

and forget everyday mistakes freely (excluding a serious betrayal of
trust)

Respond,
don’t react—think before you speak

Don’t
take others for granted

Don’t
be critical or accusatory
-
Don’t
do for others that which they could and should do for themselves

only for Win-Win
