Romancipation is a fresh perspective on romantic relationships with a focus on self-preservation. It's a philosophy that can be easily learned, adapted and practiced when seeking, entering, maintaining or exiting romantic relationships.

Romancipation is based on the following key foundational concepts:

• Boundaries
• Personal Responsibility
• Communication
• Accountability
• Empathy
• Acceptance
• Respect
• Trust

Becoming Romancipated is a four-step process that empowers you to create long-lasting, fulfilling relationships:

Step One:

• Develop a clear understanding of what you want from a partner and what you need in a relationship.
• Set appropriate boundaries that are consistent with your wants and needs.
• Take personal responsibility for what you do or say in any given situation.
• Understand your motivations for seeking particular romantic mates/partners or relationships.
• Be forthcoming about your intent before you begin, maintain or exit each relationship.

Step Two:

• Articulate those feelings through direct and clear communication with a potential mate or current partner.
• Have accountability to yourself and to the other individual.

Step Three:

• Discover what your potential mate or current partner wants from you (or a potential mate) and what they need in a relationship.
• Practice empathy and see their perspective if you want to understand what they want, need and can give in return.
• Accept the reality of who they are or what they can offer to you as a potential mate or partner.

Step Four:

• If your wants and needs are compatible with the other individual, then you have a high chance of a successful relationship.
• This is when you can begin to build respect and eventually trust.
• You both have a motivation to actively work on the relationship.

If your wants and needs do not match up with your potential mate or partner, there is a strong likelihood that the relationship will not be satisfying for both parties and ultimately fail.

• Don’t waste your time or theirs. Use this situation as a way to practice self-preservation (aka self-love).
• Turn failed relationships into a positive. Learn from them and apply those lessons so that they allow you to refine your needs and wants.
• Self-awareness is a critical element of self-preservation.
• Wants and needs of each partner can evolve over time.
