There are keys that must be used in dealing with relationships. First and foremost, complete
transparency (honesty & truth) of all issues, past offenses and hurts.”

Broken relationships create broken trust. If trust is not re-established people will, out of the need for
survival, build walls to protect themselves. Once walls have gone up, intimacy stops. Without
intimacy we will begin to use inappropriate actions to numb the pain and need for intimacy.
Damaged relationships are what broke the trust, and healthy relationships are the only way to
repair the trust.”
