Grandma started them; I was in my late teens.

Find somebody whose bad habits you think you can live with, she said. Expect the same of your partner that you do of yourself.

A seed was planted; a lens to look through about relationships.

Life's school gave me a delightful growing-up playground to learn in: a sense of humor and seven men--Six brothers and Dad--to "study," and more men--surrounded by them--in social and professional circles.

I know how these relationship rules made life easier for me, and fun; and turned out to be happy marriage rules, too.

I wrote this book to pass them on--and, more important, a guide for making Life Rules for yourself; a starting place for you.  You will add and substitute your rules for mine.  I wouldn't want it any other way.  ... an independent streak runs in our souls.

Relationship Rules of a Happy Woman.  Their intended desire is a happy, healthy Life--for all partners in a relationship--work, family, social, personal.  Make the most and best of this Life adventure you're in together.

It's a good thing.  - Anne Wondra, WonderSpirit Soul Sistering
