Growing a healthy relationship |
|
|
|
Any relationship may be compared to a delicate growing plant: in the right conditions it will flourish and grow well. With a plant this may involve the provision of or change of, for instance light, water, space or heat.
But when conditions are not good, or perhaps change for any reason, the relationship or plant may struggle and even die. The illness and even death may take place quickly or over a long painful period of time. When the struggle has been noticed, what can be done?
Like a growing plant, by changing just one aspect in a relationship – or perhaps several – other aspects will also be affected. |

Can there be different definitions in different situations? E.g. in personal life sharing a friend’s secret may be seen as betrayal of trust and lead to a broken relationship; but if sharing that information might possibly save someone’s life? Is it ever right to break a confidence? When is 'Confidentiality', maintaining 'complete confidentiality' or breaking it, crucial? What of the rights of others involved, should they be considered?
