     Intimate  RELATIONSHIPS  are  not  truly  worthy   of
respect just because they:

     1.  Conform  to  some  set of rules  and  regulations
which prescribe what to do and what  not  to do in certain
circumstances, as do computer programs.

     2.  Fulfill the expectations of bystanders.

     3.  Appear superficially to be respectable.

     4.  Maintain a long standing tradition.

     5.  Meet the needs of friends and relatives.

     Intimate  RELATIONSHIPS  are truly worthy of  respect
only to the extent that they entail and engender:

     1.  Well  informed and mutually consensual  decisions
and actions on the part of participants.

     2.  Well  balanced exercises of power and fulfillment
of responsibilities on the part of participants.

     3.  Continuing growth and deepening  intimacy on  the
part of the participants.

     4.  Open  and honest dialogue in  which  participants
are true to themselves, each other, and close friends.

     5.  Learning  from  the  experiences,   mistakes  and
perceptions which affect the participants.

     6.  Personal and communal integrity and health.

     7.  Respect  for   human  limits,    ambiguities  and
paradoxes.

     8.  Creative   responses  to  new  circumstances  and
situations.

     9.  Humility, cooperation and team-work.

     10.  Gentleness,    compassion,    forgiveness    and
tolerance.
