2. True to themselves as unique people, and others.
3. Seeking to encourage personal/communal integrity.
4. Gentle, tolerant, forgiving and prudent.
5. Humble, confident, responsive and attentive.

7. Growing/changing in varied intimate relationships.
8. Children of living intimate relationships of love.
9. Respectful of all children in God's Family.

11. On a journey of intimate growing relationships.
12. Secure in the freedom to be safely vulnerable.
13. Attentive to the needs/desires of diverse peoples.
14. Free of compulsive preoccupations and demands.
15. Whole and healthy persons of integrity.
16. Robust and flexible in their convictions & belief.
17. Dedicated to integrative ideals and values.
18. Role models who teach by being open and honest.
19. Liberators of others who are trapped in prisons.
20. Transcending evil relationships through Love.

24. Aware of the evil fruits of alienation.
25. Beneficiaries of unsought salvation.
True lovers are what they are with integrity. True
lovers do not long remain at war within themselves or
among themselves over unresolved conflicts
between/among conflicting ideals and values. They seek
to understand the conflicts between/among their ideals
and values---so as to be able to resolve their conflicts
within the context of security known as the freedom to be
safely vulnerable in open and honest dialogue about human
differences.
True lovers seek to find what they can agree upon---
and cooperate in terms of their agreements and enjoy the
sweat fruits of cooperation. True lovers are not
compulsively and/or contentiously preoccupied with what
they do not agree about---for such preoccupations bear
bitter fruits.
