Most persons today dont work hard enough at theii personal relationships, a University of Utah educator tolc a meeting of family relations professionals in Chicago. We dont care enough, said Dr. Eleanore B. Luckey, chairman of the Department of Family and Consumer Studies, who was addressing the topic Dare We Relate Caringly? Enough in our day is truly a lot, said the past president of the National Council on Family Relations. More is asked of the modern marriage relationship than was ever asked before. Our society doesnt provide the best of environments in which caring enough is easy. She said the often-use- d expression let me know if I can do anything really means I'll do anything so long as it doesnt inconvenience me too much. Luckey, a psychologist who has conducted research on marital attitudes and behavior, says the more intimate a relationship, the less it is defined by social norms. And that means the more freedom we have in it but it also means that there may be more room for misunderstanding and confusion. "We must be more concerned about making ourselves clearly understood and more patient in receiving accurate signals from the other person, she emphasized The greatest barrier to better relationships is our selfishness in taking care of No. 1, the professor said. The current in philosophy might be said to be you go your way and Ill go mine. She also cited lack of time as a barrier. Our world is too is made up of trivial things that busy and often the busy-nes- s we dont examine very critically. And she charged that only occasionally do we find parents who put parenting first on the list of things to do with their time." The researcher noted that the quality that made the greatest difference between satisfactorily married couples and those who are dissatisfied was trust, or the lack of it. Without risking ourselves to trust, we will never have a truly intimate relationship, Luckey said. She noted, however, that the differences didnt arise only from a distrust of ones spouse, but also from a distrust of oneself. Another important aspect of caring is communicating that we do care, the professor said. The trick here is to learn to be willing to reveal ourselves honestly to others. To relate caringly, Luckey explained, is to bring healing, to help learning and to grow. well-bein- b Siinja Kaxtler Sand Ridge Junior High Reporter In the English classes at Sand k i Itidge - There a .& K i(A ' -- i' t a d spelling test was conducted.
