     1.  The joint/mutual management of self and other's
         (others'):

         vulnerability,
         security,
         safety,

     2.  Honesty about self and other (others).

     3.  Balance with and for self and other (others).

     4.  Building sanctuaries for self and other (others).

     5.  Cooperation with self and other (others).

     6.  Sharing generously with other (others).

     7.  Gracious receptions and hospitality.

     9.  Open and honest dialogue with others.

    10.  Open  and honest  acknowledgements  of  self  and

         imperfections   so  as  to  better  cooperate  in
         dealing with them wisely and prudently.

     Unhealthy,  domineering, and "broken"   relationships
often  entail the absence of much which above is noted  as
often present in healthy and intimate relationships.

     Our  challenge is to find/create mutually  satisfying
ways  to bring  what is regrettably absent ---  back  into
our broken   and   imperfect  relationships  ---     which
are regrettably evil and/or disintegrative relationships.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
