I'm looking for recommendations for books about healthy relationships. It seems like lots of them at the store are kind of similar, like how to catch and keep a spouse, and I'm wondering what you recommend, more along the lines of trust, communication, honesty, equality, like building healthy relationship of all different kinds.
Thanks!

Re: Books about healthy relationships?
Hi dweebdoll,
As far as ink and paper books go, there's a book called "Relationship Skills 101 for Teens" from New Harbinger publications. I haven't read that one specifically, but the other books in that series have been quite helpful. Both our book ("S.E.X" by Heather Corinna) and "Changing Bodies, Changing Lives" also contain big sections on how to have healthy relationships. If you're curious about any of those, getting them from the library will help you get a look at them without having to invest in them just yet.
If you're interested in online resources for healthy relationships, we have lots of articles on that topic on the main Scarleteen webpage. There's also a site called Love Is Respect that puts out a ton of great stuff about building positive relationships.
