  A relationship is like a pebble—when it hits the water it creates a ripple that has an impact way beyond where it entered. Research tells us that the greatest source of joy in life is healthy relationships and that the greatest source of frustration and pain is unhealthy relationships. Like the little pebble dropped in the water, the quality of our relationships ripple across our lives, the lives of those around and even impact future generations.

CRE exists to educate, encourage and equip individuals, couples, families, churches, colleges and corporations to experience healthy relationships. Liferelationships.com is a collection of unique resources to encourage healthy relationships ranging from articles to questions and answers, to seminars and workshops, to books to links to other excellent relational web sites.

Regardless of where you are in your important relationships know that you can enjoy stronger, healthier, more vital, vibrant and effective relationships—and we're here to help.

     
Question of the Day

My husband and I have been married four years and I can’t seem to get him to spend time with me. He’d rather spend time at work or with his friends. I asked him this morning if he’s like to do something with me on Sunday and he asked if he could get back to me because he didn’t know what he had going on then. When he is home, he watches TV, gets on the internet, cooks, sleeps—anything but spend time with me. I feel as if he avoids me on purpose!
We often hear this similar story, particularly from women, although sometimes the spouse with this experience is the husband. You must be weary and feel frustrated and discouraged with trying to get his attention! Healthy relationships require continuous cultivating and nourishing, but with time pressures, jobs, family, activities it’s easy for all of us, but especially men, to allow the tyranny of the urgent to crowd out the important and the dating part of a relationship can take a back seat.
