The Values To Relate Well

Relationships are a fundamental part of human life, shaping our emotional and mental well-being from childhood through adulthood. The quality of these relationships, whether with parents, siblings, friends, or partners, greatly influences our sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and self-respect. Dr. Richard "Rick" Marks, PhD, a respected expert in healthy relationships, draws on his personal experience of growing up in a broken home to offer clear, practical insights into building emotionally healthy connections. Together with his wife Louella, Dr. Rick embarked on a transformative journey that led to the creation of the RelateWell Institute and its flagship program, which helps individuals and organizations develop mature, conflict-resilient relationships. Mieko Paige, a key collaborator at the RelateWell Institute, brings a passion for marriage and family to the work she does alongside Dr. Rick. Having incorporated RelateWell into her personal life, she has seen the power of the program to foster lasting change. With her business background and shared commitment to healthy relationships, Mieko and Dr. Rick work together to support families, churches, and organizations in cultivating emotionally mature and connected communities. This book reflects their journey and provides valuable insights into the principles of emotionally healthy relationships-applicable not just to marriage, but to all areas of life.
