Relationships : an open and honest guide to making bad relationships better and good relationships great / [print] Les and Leslie Parrott. - Grand Rapids, Michigan : Zondervan Publishing. House, (c)1998. - 186 pages ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographies and index.

Introduction : Our longing for belonging -- The compulsion for completion -- Keeping family ties from pulling strings -- Crossing the gender line -- Friends to die for -- What to do when friends fail -- Falling in love without losing your mind -- Sex, lies, and the great escape -- Breaking up without falling apart -- Relating to God without feeling phony.

Loneliness is a national epidemic; ours is a culture in which it is truly possible to be alone in a crowd. Inner strength, talent, and toughness are no barriers to the need to belong--it is literally a matter of life and death. In Relationships, the Parrotts help group members understand who they are and what they bring to relationships. They also explain how family shapes the way we relate to others, how we can bridge the generation gap, and how to approach God without feeling like a phony.
