THE RELATIONSHIP REFERENCE NOTEBOOK
To remind us of what works and is needed in relationships. And to provide us with a reference location. For now, just put reference pieces in the notebook in logical order and preferably with some tabs. The Table of Contents and numbering system by subject will be posted soon.
You could set this up so that you can read this portion of the website like a book, which is ordinarily easier than reading a website. Go to the key pieces indicated for you to read first and print them out, reading them as you go.
