     It is helpful to take note that there are differences
between  EVOLVED   human   relationships,  DEFINED   human
relationships,    CONTRACTUAL  human  relationships,   and
ACKNOWLEDGED  human  relationships;  e.g.,    as   regards
tohuman marriages and intimate relationships.             
                                                          
     Intimate  relationships  within which  people  become
bonded   with  each other --- come into being in different
ways.   That   which  is key  is:    sometimes  evolution,
sometimes   a jointly agreed  upon  contract,    sometimes
general public acknowledgements, sometimes a formal public
declaration.                                              
                                                          
     In   each   case  the  quality  of  a    relationship
depends   critically    upon    how    the    participants
within     the   relationship  view  their   relationship,
communicate  with  and  listen  to  each  other,      take
initiatives,   respond to each other's  initiatives,   and
respond  to  initiatives  and communications  from  people
who   are   only  "tangential"    or  bystanders  to   the
relationship;    i.e.,   not core-participants within  the
relationship.                                             
                                                          
     The quality of a relationship cannot by fully DEFINED
unilaterally  by any  person  or  persons  outside of  the
relationship,   nor  by  any core  person(s)   within  the
relationship.    All relationships continuously evolve  as
the   core-participants  take  initiatives,   respond   to
initiatives,  reflect upon themselves,  reflect upon  each
other,    and  interact  with  those  who  are  not  core-
participants.      Change  is  what  is   constant.      A
relationship  is  an  enduring-process,  not  a  permanent
"thing".  A relationship which does not involve growth and
change has come to a dead end --- in  which  there  is  NO
PROCESS  which  continues  to merit  reverence,   respect,
honor,  or support ---  although there may yet be a memory
of that which in the past elicited  respect,  honor and/or
support.
