    ‘Real Relationships’ is written from a Christian perspective, but the faith aspect is quite low-key until the final chapter, which is about relating to God. Earlier chapters deal with human relationships of various kinds.

    I thought the book was well-written and interesting. However it was annoying to discover that, to make the best use of it, I should also have bought a related workbook - costing almost as much as the book itself.
    I considered the Kindle version of workbook; however the ‘look inside’ feature was so limited that there was no way to find out whether it would be helpful. I didn’t buy it - and doubt if I missed out on anything important - but the frequent directions to do another exercise became irritating.

    Other than that, I thought it a helpful book which I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning more about the ways in which relationships of many kinds can work.

CHAPTER

ONE

The Compulsion for Completion Exercises

Exercise One

YOUR RELATIONAL READINESS

The following self-test will take about five minutes and will help you assess your relational readiness. Answer each item by using the following scale to indicate the degree to which it is true for you:

4 — Often

3 — Sometimes

2 — Rarely

1 — Never

_____I feel a sense of relief when I don’t have to be alone.

_____Any relationship is better than nothing.

_____If I’m not in a dating relationship, I feel less desirable.

_____I experience a little bit of panic when I think of not having someone to be close to.

_____The very idea of solitude strikes fear in my heart.

_____I’m tempted to settle for most any relationship because I don’t know if I can find anyone better.

_____My romantic relationships are more of an issue of being selected rather than doing the selecting.

_____When I am dating someone I feel better about myself.

_____I don’t like to be alone.

_____I don’t have a very clear idea of the personal qualities I look for in a person to date or even to be friends with.

_____TOTAL SCORE

Scoring: Add the numbers you have placed beside each item. There is a possible total of forty points. To interpret your score, use the following scale:

40–30A score in this range is a strong indicator of your need to establish a healthier sense of your identity and personal wholeness. You will want to pay special attention to the four steps toward wholeness discussed in this chapter.

29–20A score in this range indicates that you have done some significant work in establishing a healthy identity and a good sense of self-worth. You still have more work to do, however, in constructing an integrated and whole sense of self that will help to ensure healthier relationships.

19–1A score in this range indicates an established sense of security in who you are and a confident perspective on your sense of personal wholeness. This should serve you well in your relationships.

Exercise Two

HEALING YOUR PRIMAL PAIN

This exercise can take as little as fifteen minutes, or it can take much longer. You will require a place for quiet contemplation and self-exploration, and you may want to use additional paper for this
