Below are principles of cooperation, practical tools for building and maintaining healthy communication.

We have, between us, all we need to create and maintain a relationship based on cooperation.
 
 
Equal Rights:

Because there is abundance in our relationship, each of us has equality in decision making and expression.
 
 
No Secrets:

Because we have abundance and equal rights, we will let each other know our wants and needs, as information, in order to be cooperative.
 

No Power Plays:

Because we have equal rights, we will not overpower  the other in meeting our wants and needs.
 

No Rescues:

We will acknowledge each other's strengths and ability in providing for ourselves, those things we need.
