Relationship Facts, Trends, & Choices: The Bottom Line

Over 900 facts, trends, and choices about relationships in this book demonstrate the difficulty of satisfying this simple human need in the new era. They show the main sources of relation-ship conflicts and the consequent, rising personal frustration and depression. With our bizarre perceptions and values about relationships, we have indeed gotten ourselves trapped in an agonizing web of complex dilemmas. As societies get more complex every day, our lifestyles and convictions have changed drastically. Accordingly, our rela-tionships have become quite difficult to understand and man-age. Our personal needs, insecurities, and idiosyncrasies have also been increasing rapidly in line with changes in social values. However, we not only ignore the hazards of these rising personal shortfalls, but also justify our new needs and defects so obsessively and arrogantly.
