In Seal The Deal: A Resource Book for Those Looking to Improve and Retain Healthy Loving Relationships with Others, author Nadi Williams has written hints for a positive and loving relationship with significant others. She urges readers to first search within themselves in order to delineate what is really wanted and treasured in a relationship. Anyone contemplating marriage needs to figure out what they might be willing to sacrifice in order to make a marriage workable. There are also practical issues to consider such as financial resources, desired style of living and whether or not each partner wants to have children. As many people in love do not think clearly before entering into deep relationships, Williams contends that failure to prepare may become the seedbed for problems which escalate through the years.
I liked and appreciated the practical and yet positive approach assumed by the author. She asks important questions such as what your partner will think of you when you fail and what he or she may fear when you succeed. Answering these questions requires a lot of relationship work. Will we keep the promises we made to a would-be partner, and whether or not children will be allowed to influence the marital relationship are other critical questions which enter into staying the course. And then, never taking for granted the qualities of our loved ones is a critical key to trust, ongoing love and the respect essential to the continuance of any good relationship. Seal The Deal is a no-nonsense book for those contemplating a permanent relationship and Williams has given a lovely, respectful quality to her suggestions.
