12 Traditions for Relationships
1 - Our common welfare should come first; a healthy relationship depends upon unity. 2 - For our family or relationship purpose, there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may express Himself in our informed family conscience. Each member is God's trusted servant and no one governs. 3 - Two or more persons, when gathered together for mutual benefit, may call themselves a relationship. The only basic requirements for a good marriage or relationship are a mutual desire to be in the relationship and a willingness to make the relationship work. 4 - Each partner should be autonomous except in matters affecting the other partner, the family or society as a whole. 5 - Each marriage or relationship has but one primary purpose - to serve as an expression of God's Love. 6 - A partner ought not be overly supportive spiritually, emotionally, or physically to the marriage or relationship, lest problems of ego or gratification divert us from the primary purpose. 7 - Each partner ought to strive to be fully self-supporting physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 8 - Our marriage or relationship should remain a forever free, giving relationship - one to the other. In a healthy relationship we do not keep score. 9 - A family or relationship should be pliable in its organization but our group conscience may appoint certain persons to serve various functions and to be directly responsible to those they serve. 10 - A relationship should avoid heated controversy. 11 - Each partner best conveys his or her beliefs and philosophy by attraction rather than promotion. Anonymity is a valuable asset to the marriage or relationship. 12 - SELFLESSNESS is the spiritual foundation of our way of life as marriage partners or friends, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities and the main principle in a relationship is UNSELFISHNESS. Our greatest gift is to be of help to one another and we can't do that if we are selfish.

Always good a good reminder for me, that it isn't about the great "I" am. When I think I am the great I am, I need to come down to size and make room for my Higher Power. It gets lonely when you are on the top and alone and everyone is beneath you.
