Dear Friend,

Can you answer this riddle?

What are the most important things in your life?

You may already know the answer—but read this letter anyway. As you read the facts and descriptions that follow, your understanding and appreciation of these things will expand. You will realize exactly how essential they are to your life, and how important it is that you learn how to nurture and develop them.

So, answer this riddle.

These are the most important parts of your life. What are they?

You create thousands of these things over the course of your life. You experienced your first one before you were born, and many that you create will continue long after you’ve made your transition.

These things alone determine the levels of happiness, abundance, love, joy, wealth, freedom, safety, prosperity, and success you experience in your life, and yet you probably don’t even notice most of them.

They are always a part of you, no matter where you are. Even if you were stranded on a desert island, thousands of miles from civilization, you would still have the two most important ones with you.


Kevin B. Burk
author of
The Relationship Handbook: How to Understand and Improve Every Relationship in Your Life

 

Just as oxygen is required for your physical survival, these things are required for your spiritual survival. They are the reason you are having this human experience.

So, what are these most important parts of your life?

Your relationships.

You have hundreds of relationships in your life, of all shapes and sizes. You have relationships with every person you have ever met. In fact, you even have relationships with people you haven’t actually met.

You have relationships with your elected officials, with celebrities, and with the characters that they portray. You have relationships with the authors of the books that you read, and with the characters in these books. You and I have a relationship through this letter.

Relationships are the single most important parts of your life, and until now, you probably didn’t fully appreciate this.

The truth is that every single relationship in your life (even your relationships with Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and Katie Holmes) makes a difference to you on a very fundamental and personal level.

Let me help you to appreciate how important your relationships are.

Imagine that you have a spiritual bank account that controls the quality of your life. The higher the balance in this account, the more success, wealth, love, prosperity, joy, freedom, security and abundance you enjoy.

When the balance in this account is high, your life flows easily and effortlessly. You are completely safe, secure, prosperous and free from all stress.

On the other hand, when the balance in this account is low, you feel stressed, miserable, unhappy, trapped, compromised, depressed, angry, and despondent. When you have a low balance in this account, nothing works in your life; you feel isolated and alone, and hopeless.

Now, picture this: Every single person you encounter either makes a deposit in or withdrawal from this account. Every relationship in your life either contributes to your success, prosperity, security and happiness, or hinders it.

The quality of your life, in fact, is entirely dependent on the quality of your relationships.

ALL of your relationships.

So, bearing that in mind, let me ask you a personal question.

How are your relationships?

When you think about the quality of your relationships, if you’re not deliriously happy, if you’re not jumping up and down on the sofa with excitement like Tom Cruise on Oprah, then your relationships could be better. And if your relationships could be better, your entire life could be better.

How are your professional relationships? (Is your job your dream…or your nightmare?)

How are your family relationships? (Do you get heartburn after Thanksgiving dinner with your family…or at the thought of it?)

How are your romantic relationships?

As you consider every relationship in your life, imagine your spiritual bank account. Where is the balance in this account? Are you experiencing the levels of love, joy, wealth, freedom, prosperity, security and success that you deserve?

Now, take a few moments and imagine what your life would be like if every one of your relationships was truly amazing.

Picture how you would feel if every day you got to work with people who respect and value you…Imagine how your professional life would look if your supervisors recognized how essential you are to the success of the company…Don’t even think about what this would mean to you financially, or how good it will feel to have the kind of wealth and prosperity you’ve always dreamed of—just imagine how it would feel if you looked forward to going into the office each day and actually had more energy at the end of the day than at the start.

Imagine how you would feel if your family treated you like a respected, mature adult…Who would you be if your family loved and accepted you the way your friends do? Imagine how it would sound if your family left the past in the past and you could actually enjoy spending time with them (and might even look forward to it!).

Now imagine your ideal romantic relationship.

If you’re currently single, imagine your ideal partner, your divine compliment…Imagine the things you will do together, the adventures you will share…Imagine how you will feel when you are experiencing the powerful, deep emotional connections as you open your heart to another person.

If you’re currently in a romantic relationship, remember how you used to feel with your partner, and imagine how your relationship would be if you could recapture the spark you felt when you first got together…Picture how you would feel if you could energize the fading magic in your love life…How would it feel if your heart opened every time you thought of your partner?

Now, imagine the balance in your spiritual bank account when your life is filled with hundreds of truly amazing relationships.

Can you feel your heart opening? Can you feel how relaxed and at peace you are? Can you feel how safe, how secure, and how free you are when you genuinely love every single person in your life—and every single person in your life loves and accepts you for exactly who you are?

How would you like to make this dream a reality?

The only difference between your life now and the life you just imagined is the quality of your relationships.

And now, for the first time, you can master the skills to improve every single relationship in your life!

Finally! A Practical, User-Friendly, Comprehensive Guide to Human Relationships!

If you’re like most people, you would love some help with your relationships. The problem is that you haven’t found any help that actually speaks to you, personally.

Most books on relationships are written by psychologists, and they’re so complicated that they read like they were written for psychologists.

You may not feel that you’re from Mars or Venus, and you may simply not resonate with “Dr. Phil’s” style.

Because you’re reading this letter carefully, you’re looking for something different—something that speaks to you.

You’re looking for a solution that is practical, easy (and fun), spiritual, powerful, and comprehensive.

You’re looking for a solution that understands that you’re the same person in your romantic relationships as you are in your professional relationships.

You’re looking for a solution that breaks down the complex world of human relationships into simple, easy-to-understand concepts, and offers strategies that you will actually use to improve your relationships.

And you’re looking for a solution that you can try risk free—a solution that will work for you—absolutely guaranteed.

You’re looking for The Relationship Handbook: How to Understand and Improve Every Relationship in Your Life!

The Relationship Handbook is the only book on relationships that approaches relationships from the human perspective. No matter who you are, no matter what kinds of relationships you create in your life, The Relationship Handbook speaks to you, personally, and will teach you how to get the most out of your romantic relationships, your professional relationships, your family relationships, your friendships—and even your relationship with yourself.

Human relationships are really not that complicated. In fact, you only need two things from your relationships (and they’re the same two things in every relationship). Every single problem you've ever had in a relationship occurs because one or both of these needs is not being met. When these needs are being completely met, our relationships are truly amazing. It’s that simple.

Would you like to know what those two needs are? Then keep reading! I promise to reveal this secret of amazing relationships very shortly!

But first, read (and listen) to how The Relationship Handbook has changed the lives of people just like you!

Here’s What Edward Pyne, Host of “Getting the Word Out” on Cyberstation USA has to say about The Relationship Handbook!

A Wonderful Spiritual Book

Kevin Burk has written an important book. The Relationship Handbook is first and foremost a spiritual book. Burk describes the ego as a pretending tool given to us at birth that convinces us that we are individuals—not connected with all other beings. With that premise in mind, Burk takes the reader through the different relationship experiences we all deal with in life and graphically shows how we use the ego to reinforce our separateness from others and to 'protect' us from others. This book is packed with original information about the human condition. I was most impressed.

on “Getting the Word Out”

"Kevin's material is brilliant. He takes complex issues like relationships and what it is to be human and puts them in simple easy to digest ideas. His info is state of the art where he addresses our wholeness and perfection rather than human limitation and separation. Finally a program that is based in the idea that we are whole and complete within ourselves. I have searched long and hard for a program that affirms my beingness and self esteem and this is it. So many times I have gone to relationship programs and seminars and I felt like I was put in a box, categorized and told on subtle levels that I am less than I am. Kevin does an amazing job of affirming the depth and value of all people. I love the way he mixes tried and true wisdom of the ages with progressive ideas to take us to a place of enlightened perspective. His program is based in the idea that we are unique, special humans with unlimited potential and abilities. It was expansive, insightful and based in a deep sense of inner wisdom. These concepts are extremely practical and can immediately improve every relationship you have. His usage of real life examples and his metaphors are not only extremely effective, but humorous as well. These are ideas that, when used diligently, can actually create more peace in the world… From my own experience, training and expertise, I know this stuff works!"

—Patrice Amoré Carrington
International Communication Expert / Professional Speaker
San Diego, CA

“There are many books that talk about meeting needs to improve relationships, but this is the only one I know of that showed me how to IDENTIFY, CLARIFY and DISCUSS my own specific needs, even gave me words to do so, based on my own birth chart. This makes it one of the most valuable and useful books I've ever read. What do YOU need to feel safe and validated? What's appropriate to expect, and how do you get these needs met successfully? Kevin Burk's Relationship Handbook will guide you on a journey of self-discovery that will change your life. Bon voyage!”

—Terri Trainor, La Jolla, CA

“[The Relationship Handbook]…is a masterful piece of practical help for couples and business relationships—I recommend it highly.”

—Dr. Marilyn Powers, Ph.D., author of The Bridge Between two Lifetimes and Words of Power for Loving your Age, Work, and Life

“Kevin has done it again! He’s an excellent writer with fresh and insightful ideas that transform your relationships with yourself and others. Go for the gusto and really live your life NOW!”

—Cinda Johnson, CBP, C.Ht., CPC, NLP Master Programmer, Reiki Master

A Spiritual, Compassionate, Non-Judgmental Alternative to “Dr. Phil.”

The Relationship Handbook is the only book on relationships that actually addresses every relationship in our lives. It is not your typical book on relationships!

What makes The Relationship Handbook so revolutionary? Well, for one thing, I’m not a psychologist or a psychiatrist: I’m an astrologer (although I’ve studied psychology for many years), so I incorporate a spiritual, holistic, humanistic and new thought approach to human relationships.

I’ve been certified as an astrological counselor by the National Council for Geocosmic Research, I’ve written three astrology books (so far), and I’ve been helping clients across the world with spiritual guidance since 1996. The vast majority of my clients call me for help and guidance regarding their relationships, and that’s how The Relationship Handbook came about.

Although there is a tiny bit of astrology in The Relationship Handbook, it’s not an astrology book, and you don’t need to understand or even believe in astrology to transform every relationship in your life. The Relationship Handbook is, in fact, a spiritual, compassionate, non-judgmental alternative to Dr. Phil.

PART 1: UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIPS

Chapter 1: Human Relationships Part 1: Being Human

Before we can explore human relationships, we first have to explore what it means to be human—because most of us have forgotten our true natures. The truth is that we are eternal, multi-dimensional beings; we are whole, complete and perfect, and we are eternally connected to All That Is. We are also currently having a human experience on the planet Earth. If you’ve ever had to change planes in Atlanta, it’s kind of like that…

  • Meet the ego and learn how to master it (Page 5)

  • Learn about the global shift from the biological perspective to the spiritual perspective, and what it means to you, personally. (Page 8)

  • Master three powerful steps that will alter any negative belief, eliminate any destructive behavior pattern and completely transform your reality. (Page 14)
    [Click arrow to listen!]

  • Encounter the secret weapon of transformation—a tool so misunderstood that it can only be called the “F-word.” (Page 17)

Chapter 2: Human Relationships Part 2: Relationships

What are relationships? Relationships are first and foremost ways in which we can learn our spiritual lessons in the most effective and efficient manner. This applies to all relationships—not just to romantic or sexual relationships. In every relationship we need the same two things: Safety and Validation. How we go about meeting these needs depends on which of the four languages we speak.

  • Would you rather get what you WANT in your relationships, or get what you NEED? There’s a big difference between the two. Find out what it is on Page 27—and discover why the secret to true happiness and amazing relationships is NOT getting what you WANT…
    [Click arrow to listen!]

Chapter 3: Safety Needs

Take a few moments and consider the concept of safety. We rarely consider our safety needs in general, let alone in terms of our relationships. We take our safety for granted when we think about it at all. But, we’re about to see that our safety needs play a very important role in our lives and in our relationships. In this chapter, you will discover:

  • The 4 things we believe we need in order to feel safe—and why we’re completely wrong about one of them (Page 31)

  • How we create attachments and addictions—and how to release them. (Page 34)

  • The true nature of anger (Page 38)

  • Which of the 4 safety checklist languages do you speak? Which do your partners speak? Find out on Page 41!

  • Use this 3-Minute Miracle to instantly banish the harmful effects of stress, maintain the balance in your safety account and take absolute control of your life (Page 48)! (This may be the single most powerful technique you will ever experience!)

Chapter 4: Validation Needs

Validation needs have to do with defining and supporting our sense of individual identity. Validation needs encompass a wide range of emotions and experiences, all of which are essentially different degrees and expressions of love. “Love,” however, is a four-letter word that has very powerful and specific connotations for most of us. We can easily accept that in our romantic relationships we need to have our “love needs” met. But when we say that we need to have our “love needs” met in our professional relationships, it seems less appropriate—not to mention it could get us into a heap of trouble.

  • 3 foolproof ways to meet anyone’s validation needs (including your own) [Page 57]
    [Click arrow to listen!]

  • One of the attendees at a weekend Relationship Workshop shared how early in his marriage, he used to surprise his wife with flowers several times a week—only he was the one who was surprised, because instead of feeling loved and appreciated, she would feel upset and frustrated because he was wasting money on flowers. This was a classic case of him speaking in one Validation Language, and her listening in another. This one secret completely transformed their relationship. Which of the 4 Validation languages do you speak? (Find out on Page 58).

  • 5 Powerful tools to win friends and influence people—and the one mistake you must avoid at all cost. [Page 66]

Chapter 5: Can We Meet Our Needs?

Understanding our Safety and Validation Needs is only the first step to creating amazing relationships. The real question is “Can we meet our needs?”

This chapter identifies some of the most common—and dangerous—patterns and beliefs that could interfere with your ability to feel safe and validated. But most importantly, this chapter also provides practical, simple, powerful and effective strategies that will enable you to overcome these obstacles, and eliminate these destructive patterns from your life once and for all.

Which of these negative patterns are interfering with your ability to experience safety, validation, love, and security?

  • Feeling Safe and Feeling Validated (Pick One)

    • How easy is it for you to feel safe and validated at the same time? Do the things that make you feel safe also make you feel unappreciated? Do the things that make you feel loved also make you feel threatened? Find out (and master the strategy for change) on Page 76!

  • The Inner Parent Trap: Checklists from Hell

    • Fortress of Solitude: Boundaries are important in relationships—they help us to feel safe. But often our boundaries can become prison walls. If you’ve ever felt lonely in a crowd, you may live in a Fortress of Solitude™. Learn how to remodel your fortress and create healthy emotional connections on Page 79.

    • Not ___ Enough: Call it low self-esteem or poor self-image, but it all boils down to the belief that you’re not ____ enough (you fill in the blank), and that’s why you don’t deserve to have your needs met. Eliminate this limiting belief once and for all on Page 83.

  • Expecting Rejection, Fearing Abandonment, and Assuming Unreliability

    • Safe Doesn’t Feel Safe: Do you know what it means to feel safe? Or do you go through life in a constant state of alert? Is what you consider to be “safe” only what’s familiar to you? Learn to experience true safety on Page 90.

    • Everybody Leaves: Are you so worried about when your relationship will (inevitably) end that you can’t enjoy the relationship while it lasts? Use the simple suggestions on Page 92 to end this pattern once and for all!

    • Trust Me: Do your relationships have a history of betrayal, infidelity or unreliability? Discover the reason why (and it’s not what you think it is) and how to address this pattern on Page 96.

  • Bad Boundaries and Hopeless Romantics

    • I Am You and You are Me and He is She and We are All Together: Do you believe that you need a romantic partner to complete you? You may have a fear of being alone. Learn how to love yourself more on Page 100.

    • Hopeless Romantics: Do you have trouble creating a lasting romantic relationship because your perfect partners always turn out to be less perfect than you thought they were? Read Page 103 and discover how to stop your prince(ss) from turning into a frog.

Chapter 6: Relationship Blueprints

Why do we seem to create the same relationships over and over again? Because we’re building our relationships from the same blueprints. Never underestimate the power of a bad blueprint! (You’ll discover how to redesign your relationship blueprints in Chapter 16).

  • The Soul Blueprint: our relationship to ourselves (Page 113)

  • The Authority Blueprint: our relationship to authority figures, and our relationship to our subordinates (Page 115)

  • The Sibling Blueprint: our relationship to our siblings—and to our co-workers (Page 117)

  • The Marriage Blueprint: the ONLY blueprint we have for ANY romantic or sexual relationship of ANY kind. (Page 119)
    [Click arrow to listen!]

  • Which of the four types of Marriage Blueprint do you have? (Page 120)

PART 2: ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

Chapter 7: The Challenge of Romantic Relationships

We have hundreds of relationship in our lives that we navigate with relative ease. Why is it that our romantic relationships are so challenging? Why do so many of us spend so much time worrying about romantic relationships? Why is it, in fact, that when we hear the word “relationship,” we almost automatically assume that it’s referring to a romantic or sexual relationship?

And here’s an even better question: Why is it that when we hear the word “relationship” not only do we assume it’s referring to a romantic or sexual relationship, but we also all picture the exact same relationship? (Find out what the picture is that defines a romantic relationship for every one of us—whether we want it or not—on page 128!)

  • Explore the difference between monogamy and fidelity (one is absolutely essential for healthy romantic relationships, and one is optional). (Page 131)

  • Discover the truth about the 3 most dangerous romantic relationship myths! (Page 134)

Chapter 8: Why Am I Still Single?

This is the most challenging chapter in the book by far. If you are single and truly want to create your ideal romantic relationship, this chapter will explain exactly how to attract your perfect romantic partner. The catch, of course, is that you must be willing to accept responsibility for the fact that your thoughts, choices, attitudes and beliefs create every aspect of your life—including the fact that you are currently single.

  • There is only one answer to the question “Why am I still single,” but you may not be ready to hear it. (When you are, you’ll find it on Page 140).

  • The 4 questions you must explore before you can attract a romantic partner (Page 141)

  • The 6 biggest obstacles to creating a romantic relationship—and how to overcome each one of them. (Page 144)

  • Use this simple 5-step process to create your ideal romantic relationship (Page 150)

Chapter 9: The Relationship Definition Talk (RDT), or Be Sure You’re In The Relationship You Think You’re In

From time to time, it’s essential that we have a Relationship Definition Talk (RDT) with our romantic partners. The RDT is exactly what it sounds like: it’s a discussion where two people in a relationship explore and define the nature of their relationship. RDTs are more important in the early stages of a relationship—the longer a couple has been together, the more likely it is that they agree on the nature, rules and structures of the relationship.

If you’re at all afraid to have this talk with your romantic partner, it’s a very good indication that you need to have the talk, because you’re not in the relationship you think you’re in.

  • Why does sex always seem to screw up a friendship? Find out on Page 156.

  • Five essential ingredients of your first RDT—and three deadly traps you must avoid! (Page 165)

Chapter 10: Men are From Mars and Venus—and Women Are, Too

Many popular approaches to relationships teach that men and women have fundamentally different needs and desires. This is not entirely accurate. The idea that we may have to learn to speak a foreign language in our relationships is absolutely correct—we have to learn to speak whatever language our partner speaks in order to meet our partner’s needs. We have to understand how to communicate the things that we feel, in ways that mean the same thing to our partners. But the language barrier is not related to gender.

  • The real reason no man will willingly ask anyone for directions (Page 176)

  • The Measure of a Woman: how men—and women—still base a woman’s worth on her reproductive capacity, and how to let go of this biologically-based belief once and for all (Page 177)

  • How to balance “Mars” and “Venus” in each of us by expanding the definition of “masculine” and “feminine.” (Page 179)

Chapter 11: Refugees From the Sexual Revolution

Human beings have an almost unlimited capacity for erotic exploration, and the scope of human sexuality is staggering. The Sexual Revolution that began in the 1960s and continued through the 1980s forever changed our relationship to sex. We took sex out of the bedrooms (and closets), and made it an integral part of our lives and culture. We fought for and won the freedom to explore our individual sexual natures, and in the long run, this is definitely a good thing. In the short run, however, we may not feel ready to explore to much. Many of us still carry negative beliefs about sex. Frankly, we’d be more comfortable if we had the time to work things out on our own. The problem is that sex is everywhere. Sex sells, and we can’t avoid the influence of sex from Hollywood and from Madison Avenue. Our culture has become obsessed with sex in many ways. As a result, we feel pressured to explore our sexuality, even if we’re not entirely ready to do this.

  • Why the Sexual Revolution was essential to our spiritual evolution (Page 182)

  • Is sex ever really “safe”? (Page 188)

  • Sex without intimacy and intimacy without sex (Page 189)

  • The lost art of courtship (Page 191)

Chapter 12: Challenging Relationships

This chapter seems like a good place for a reminder that any relationship can succeed. The fact that I will be addressing types of relationships that have very specific challenges doesn’t mean that these relationships can’t work. What it does mean is that these types or relationships will take work—more work than one might appreciate, in fact. Challenging romantic relationships carry all of the normal obstacles of every romantic relationship, but they also have additional issues that must be addressed. If you are in any one of these five types of relationships, you must read this chapter!

  • Inter-Tribal Relationships
  • Inter-Racial Relationships
  • Inter-Faith Relationships
  • Inter-Generational Relationships
  • Intra-Office Relationships

Chapter 13: Impossible Relationships

Any relationship can succeed. But certain types of relationships have fundamental rules, boundaries, structures and limitations. When the individuals in these relationships understand and accept these rules, the relationships can work. The relationships become “impossible” when the individuals want to change the rules or ignore the fundamental boundaries.

Impossible relationships fall in three categories:

  • Internet Relationships

    • Learn how to meet someone from the Internet—safely. (Page 208)

  • Interstate and International Relationships

  • Extra-Marital Relationships

  • If you discover that you are in an impossible relationship, don’t worry! Just read the advice on Page 211.

PART 3: IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS

Chapter 14: Professional Relationships

When we think of the primary relationships in our lives, most of us include our romantic partner, our children, our families and our friends. These relationships are certainly important to us. They provide the strongest emotional and spiritual connections in our lives. But how much time do we actually spend in these relationships? If we define our primary relationships as the relationships where we invest the greatest amount of our time and attention, then for most of us, our primary relationships are our professional relationships—our relationships at work. The majority of our waking hours is often spent in our professional relationships. And yet, how many of us actually consider if these relationships are meeting our needs?

  • Why you should be more concerned with improving your professional relationships than any other relationships in your life (Page 217).

  • Learn the shocking truth about workplace relationships (you’ll never look at your boss the same way again)—and use this secret to jump-start your career! (Page 223)

  • Use this simple, 3-minute exercise to recharge your batteries, power-up, eliminate work-related stress, and actually begin to enjoy what you do for a living again! (Page 227)

Chapter 15: Family Relationships

For many of us, our relationships to our families are the most difficult to experience. In this chapter, we will explore these relationships—the good, the bad, and the holiday dinner. As always, the objective is to cultivate an awareness of our needs, expectations and behavior patterns. We must become aware of our patterns, and own them before we can choose to alter them.

  • The one thing you MUST do to create adult relationships with your family. (Page 231)

  • The three words you must completely eliminate from your vocabulary if you want to avoid fighting with your family. (Page 237)

  • The only way to get your family to treat you like an adult (and to stop feeling like a child). (Page 235)

  • 7 Strategies for Surviving Holiday Dinners with your family (including 3 smarter answers to stupid questions)! (Page 237)

Chapter 16: How To Design a Better Relationship Blueprint

Our relationship blueprints are our beliefs about how our relationships are meant to look. Like all beliefs, our relationship blueprints are merely words, and if we change the words, we change the world. In many ways, our relationship blueprints are among the easiest beliefs to change. We know that each relationship we create is unique, and that our past relationships do not have any bearing on our future relationships. In fact, awareness of our relationship blueprints is often enough to allow us to alter t hem. Becoming fully aware of our relationship blueprints, however, is a bit of a challenge. We not only have to become aware of the elements of our blueprints, but we also have to become aware of our underlying beliefs and assumptions about each of those elements.

Never underestimate the power of a bad blueprint!

  • Is there a time bomb lurking in your Marriage Blueprint? (Page 249)

Chapter 17: How To Improve Every Relationship In Your Life

This is the chapter you’ve been waiting for—six simple steps to improving every single relationship in our life. When you buy The Relationship Handbook, you may be tempted to turn to this chapter right away, hoping to find some quick answers. But the reason this chapter is at the end of the book is that you have to understand what’s in the rest of the book (or at the very least what’s in Part 1) to work this program successfully.

  • 6 simple, practical steps that are absolutely guaranteed to improve every relationship in your life! (See Page 256)

  • Master this one step and people will fall over themselves to meet your needs! (But if you skip this step you don’t have a prayer of getting what you want!) (Page 260)

  • Troubleshooting: What to do if your relationships do not improve.(Page 262)

Chapter 18: Knowing When (and How) to Leave, or Breaking Up Doesn’t Have To Be Hard To Do

Relationships do not last forever. The law of relationships states that two people will stay in a relationship as long as they are learning their lessons from each other at the same rate. Whenever one person moves too far ahead of the other person, the relationship will end. Sometimes the relationship may simply dissolve on its own. But sometimes our lesson is that we do not need to stay in relationships that do not support us. When we learn this lesson, the relationship will end; however it will end because we choose to end it.

  • When is it time to end a relationship? Find out on Page 269.

  • Can we still be friends? Read Page 270 before you decide!

  • How to end an abusive relationship (Page 271).

Chapter 19: Some Final Words of Advice

Our human experiences can be very challenging. Earth is not a vacation planet—we come here to learn and to work. We’re doing the job we came here to do, but we’re (almost literally) doing it blindfolded, with our hands tied behind our backs. In every single situation, we do the best we can, based on our level of awareness. That’s all we can ever ask of ourselves.

This chapter is a loving reminder to be compassionate and gentle with ourselves—and with others.

APPENDIX: THE ASTROLOGY OF RELATIONSHIPS

For those of you who are intrigued by the ways that astrology can help you to understand and improve your relationships, the three chapters in the Appendix will give you more detailed information. Chapter 20 provides a brief introduction to astrology, clarifying what it is, and what it isn’t. You’ll also find resources on how to calculate your own, unique birth chart online—for free.

Chapter 21 provides in-depth descriptions of each of the 12 possible Safety Checklist Languages by exploring the Moon in each of the 12 signs, and Chapter 22 provides in-depth descriptions of each of the 12 possible Validation Checklist Languages by exploring Venus in each of the 12 signs.

Would you be willing to help me to make the world a better place to live for everyone?

When you use the techniques in The Relationship Handbook to improve your relationships, something magical happens. Not only are you happier because your safety and validation needs are being met in your relationships, but the people you relate to are also happier because you’re helping them to meet their safety and validation needs. And since they’re feeling safe and validated thanks to you, they’re more likely to share that love and compassion with the people that they encounter.

We cannot begin to appreciate how many lives we touch, both directly and indirectly. When we learn to experience and share love, joy and compassion, that energy spreads.

My personal mission in life is to make the world a better place to live for everyone, by helping as many people as possible to improve their relationships. That’s why I wrote The Relationship Handbook: How to Understand and Improve Every Relationship in Your Life.

It’s a 340 page hardback book (with full-color dust jacket) and it’s available for only $29.95.

The audio excerpts you’ve been listening to are from The Relationship Workshop: Six Steps to Improve Every Relationship in Your Life 2-CD set, which is available for only $79.95.

STOP! Before you buy the Six Steps to Improve Every Relationship in Your Life 2-CD set, take advantage of this limited-time offer and save over $40!

If you order now, you can receive both The Relationship Handbook AND Six Steps to Improve Every Relationship in Your Life (regularly $109.90) for LESS than the cost of the CDs alone! That’s right—for only $69 you can master the skills to create truly amazing relationships in your life!

And whether you buy the The Relationship Handbook bundle, or you buy The Relationship Handbook, you’ll do so completely risk free!

I’m so positive that The Relationship Handbook will help you to improve every relationship in your life, that I’m backing it up with a no-risk, iron-clad, no-questions-asked, I’ll-buy-it-back-from-you money back guarantee!

But first, I have another exciting offer for you…

Order Now and Receive Over $388.95 in Exclusive Bonus Gifts!

For a limited time, when you purchase your copy of The Relationship Handbook, or you save over $40 when you purchase the bundle of The Relationship Handbook and the Six Steps to Improve Every Relationship in Your Life CDs, you will receive over $388.95 in exclusive bonus gifts!

BONUS GIFT #1—MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION:
The Nature of Reality ($47 Value)

This presentation illustrates how our egos create frames, how our frames shape our experiences, and how our beliefs define our reality. This is exclusive content—it didn’t make the cut in the book, and it didn’t make the cut in the Relationship Workshop, either. You won’t find this astounding information anywhere else!

Using our first experience with broccoli as an example, you'll discover why first impressions are so important. You'll also discover how your experience of reality may not be quite as solid as you think it is!


BONUS GIFT #2—MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION:
Relationship Needs ($47 Value)

This presentation is an animated guide to understanding our fundamental relationship needs, and how we manage our need bank accounts.

As the balances in the various need accounts increase and decrease, you will enjoy a more comprehensive understanding of how our need accounts interact with each other.

You will also learn why the lower needs are more powerful than the higher needs (the alarms on the accounts are much louder…).


BONUS GIFT #3—MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION:
Understanding Attachments ($47 Value)

This animation explores the nature of attachments—and why it’s so essential that we learn to release all of our attachments in order to feel truly safe!

This presentation uses dynamic animations of Figure 4 of The Relationship Handbook to demonstrate how our attachments interfere with our ability to feel safe.

It also illustrates how we can create attachments to meeting one of our higher needs (Validation), and how this interferes with meeting both our safety and our validation needs.


BONUS GIFT #4—MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION:
Make Sure You’re Working on the Right Relationship ($47 Value)

Straight out of the “Troubleshooting” section of the 6 Steps to Improve Every Relationship in Your Life, this presentation illustrates how the relationship we think isn’t working may not be the relationship that actually needs work.

You will observe the balance in your primary relationship need accounts as you experience a typical day, and watch how each event and interaction impacts how safe and validated you feel.

You will discover how you may be looking to the one relationship that does meet your needs, to meet your needs in your other relationships. Finally, you'll learn how to adjust the connections between your relationship accounts, to address the areas where your needs are actually not being met.


BONUS GIFT #5—CERTIFICATE FOR A 45-MINUTE PERSONAL, ONE-ON-ONE, RELATIONSHIP COACHING SESSION WITH KEVIN B. BURK ($75 Value)

For a very limited time, I'm making myself available to you, personally, to help you to understand your own, unique relationships. After you've read through The Relationship Handbook, and are familiar with the basic concepts, you may schedule a 45-minute telephone consultation with me. My fees for one-on-one coaching are $100 an hour, so this is a $75 value!

This offer is limited to the next 38 people who purchase The Relationship Handbook!


BONUS GIFT #6—SPECIAL REPORT:
How to Design and Create Your Ideal Romantic Relationship ($47 Value)

This special report will provide you with all of the tools that you need to design, create, and attract your ideal romantic relationship.

First, you will explore why you want a romantic relationship—and why you may not want one. Remember, we're responsible for meeting our own minimum levels of safety and validation.

Next, you will learn how to overcome and address any number of potential obstacles that make it difficult for you to attract the kind of romantic partner that you deserve.

Finally, the Ideal Romantic Partner Checklist will help you to create a very clear picture of the qualities you most desire in a romantic partner, and how your ideal romantic relationship will look.


BONUS GIFT #7—SPECIAL REPORT: How to Improve Your Professional Relationships ($59 Value)

If we’re interested in improving and enhancing our personal relationships, we must learn how to improve and enhance our professional relationships as well. Our professional relationship accounts have a tremendous influence over the balance of our master safety and validation accounts. If our professional safety and validation accounts are low, we make withdrawals from our master accounts to compensate. This can result in our master accounts becoming overdrawn. When that happens, we feel unsafe and invalid in every aspect of our lives (and in every relationship in our lives), not only our professional relationships.

This special report will give you the tools you need to transform your professional relationships—and help you to enjoy the time you spend in those relationships.


BONUS GIFT #8:
1-Year Subscription to “Amazing Relationships” E-Zine
($19.95 Value)

Read the latest articles, advice and techniques on how to improve every relationship in your life! Plus, be the first to learn about upcoming seminars and workshops in your area!

 

Now, you’re probably asking why I’m giving away so much in bonuses (including a one-on-one relationship coaching session with me). Well, the answer is simple: I want you to buy a copy of The Relationship Handbook and begin to improve your relationships.

But more that that, I also want to make sure that you understand the key concepts in The Relationship Handbook. And even though I’ve done my best to present the information in simple, easy-to-understand language, there’s only so much you can do with the printed Page…so four of the bonus gifts are special, multi-media presentations that dynamically (and colorfully) illustrate the most important concepts in The Relationship Handbook so you can be absolutely certain to begin to improve your relationships right away.

“Simple” isn’t the same thing as “Easy”

I’m reminded of the story of a woman who went to the hair salon clutching a copy of Entertainment Weekly magazine. She sat in the chair, pointed to a photo of Julia Roberts and told the hairdresser, “I want to look like that.” The hairdresser replied, “Honey, it’s a comb, not a wand.”

There is no magic wand you can wave to magically transform your relationships. (There’s no magic “Julia Roberts” wand, either.)

If you follow the simple, practical advice and strategies in The Relationship Handbook, you will improve every single one of your relationships. Guaranteed.

“Simple,” isn’t the same thing as “easy,” however.

In order to follow the simple advice, you must be willing to accept responsibility for the life and relationships you have created for yourself.

Please don’t panic! I know how scary this process can be, and I provide a tremendous amount of support and a number of specific, practical strategies you can use to help you reach the point where you can accept responsibility for your life without judging yourself or beating yourself up for choices you made in the past.

Iron-Clad, No-Risk, No-Questions-Asked, I’ll-Buy-it-Back-From-You Guarantee

You may not be ready to change your life and improve your relationships—and please know that there is nothing wrong with that! You, your life, and your relationships are working perfectly exactly as they are right now. Even though there is certainly room for improvement, please know that there is nothing wrong with you or your life exactly as it is.

You may want to improve your life and experience amazing relationships, but you may realize that you’re simply not ready to take responsibility for your life and implement the necessary changes, and that’s perfectly acceptable. In fact, that’s the reason for the no-risk, 30-day money-back guarantee.

Buy The Relationship Handbook now (or save over $40 and buy The Relationship Handbook AND the Six Steps to Improve Every Relationship in Your Life audio CDs) and read it for a full 30 days risk-free, and then make your decision. If you choose to continue experiencing your relationships as they are now, if you’re not ready to take control of your life, then I'll buy it back from you—no questions asked.
