Relationship Needs, Framework, and Models: Guidelines for Success

The chaos in relationships nowadays disables partners to relate in a meaningful way. Instead, they seem mostly engaged in some kind of a game, or they behave passively around each other to make the best of such a frustrating entrapment. A major source of this chaos in relationships is that couples perceive and define their ‘relationship needs’ as an extension of their personal needs. Some people are even more selfish and insist that their personal needs must supersede their partners’ needs and any kind of relationship needs that might exist. They try to dominate their partners and set crooked guidelines for their relationships. In fact, we all naively assume that relation-ships’ main (and often ‘only’) purpose is to make us happy.
