Dr. Phil on Relationships

I found Dr Phil’s Relationship Health Profile Test very interesting. I’d like to share that with you (Click here). Try that now before you continue.

So now you know where you stand in your relationships, according to Dr. Phil.

Dr. Phil has a beautiful post about relationships (Click here). There’s no way I could say it better than he.

Summarizing Dr. Phil

• Own your own relationship – Be accountable for your relationship. Don’t be a victim.


• Accept the risk of vulnerability – Put yourself on the line.


• Accept your partner – Don’t try to change them.


• Focus on friendship – let the friendship grow and bask in the memories of how it develops.


• Promote your partner's self-esteem – provide a more nurturing atmosphere that appeals to your partner.


• Aim your frustrations in the right direction – look at yourself first.


• Be up front and forthright – express yourself with maturity and responsibility


• Make yourself happy instead of right Decide that being happy is better than being right.


• Allow your relationship to transcend turmoil – limit disagreements.


• Put motion into your emotion – be proactive.

As you consider Dr Phil’s 10 factors of a good relationship, you’re probably going to react negatively to one or more.

Don’t let negative emotions wreck your relationships and your happiness. Decide which is more important to you: giving space for your negativity or a loving growing relationship. You probably can’t have both because relationships tend to be smothered by negativity.

Only you can assign a value to a relationship to you. Just know that the value is limited by your weakest emotional link. You can’t expect a relationship to be superior to your negative emotions.

You can enhance your personal values by bringing the negativity under your control. Don’t let your emotions destroy another relationship!

God bless
