Recommended: Importance of communication within relationships

Discussion D3 What attracted my attention in particular in Chapter 3 was stress information. Stress is considered to be the result of the action of the external factors (the environment, the job, the relationships with those around us, the obstacles of life, the daily expectations and disillusionments) and the internal factors (nutritional balance, emotional well-being, physical form, body) on our life. I never thought that there is a positive stress, but now I have realized that the extent to which each individual manages to manage stress in a constructive way, to become more resilient to the various obstacles of life, traces the boundary between negative stress, and positive. What is important to note is that stress in my life (the negative one) not only affects me in all areas but also negatively affects …show more content…

Some relationships last a lifetime and others are destroyed for various reasons. Marriage is in my view one of the most fragile relationships in today's society. Although it is scientifically proven that the family is the place where a person can develop physically and intellectually in a harmonious way, and can maintain his/her physical and mental health, today many families are falling apart, causing much suffering not only to the partners but also to the children in the family. The author of the article on the site www.apa.org/helpcenter, suggests a few steps to take in order to keep the romantic partnership in good working order, and I think this is also true for a happy marriage too. According to the site, communication is a key piece of healthy relationships. Another recommendation is to keep the marriage relationship interesting, planning interesting activities together, away from the daily routine. When you can no longer overcome the obstacles that arise in marriage, it is recommended to call for outside

  • Summary Of Matt Chandler's The Mingling Of Souls

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    Marriage is something most people do but few do it well. If a couple is not looking at divorce papers that are probably seeking marriage counseling. If they are not screaming to the top of their lungs at each other they are probably sneaking out to lie in someone else’s arms. If they are not physically abusing one or the other they are probably being mentally abusive. If a couple is not saying hurtful things to each other they are probably not saying anything at all because why would they when the other is not going to listen anyways. We have all been in or seen relationships struggle with these kinds of things. This big question is where did they go wrong? I think the answer to that question lies in Matt Chandler’s book The Mingling of Souls. Chandler’s answer to the question above is that if a couple wants to have a truly successful marriage they must follow God’s design for marriage. Now Chandler is in no way implying that a couple will not struggle if they do it God’s way but they will be able to get through those struggles together. This review is not a summary of the book but it will discuss the strength and weaknesses of

    ...think that talking through problems and not going to bed angry is important. Solving problems the time they arise can help ease the stress and if a couple goes to bed angry it makes the matter worse. “A lasting marriage results from a couple's ability to resolve the conflicts that are inevitable in any relationship. Many couples tend to equate a low level of conflict with happiness and believe the claim "we never fight" is a sign of marital health. But I believe we grow in our relationships by reconciling our differences. That's how we become more loving people and truly experience the fruits of marriage” (Gottman, 2012). Lastly, finding simple things to do for each other is the key to a successful marriage. Living with the same person for 30+ or more years can get routine and boring. By finding ways to surprise or make the other happy, they can keep the love alive.

  • How Does Culture Influence Marriage

    1322 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this culture, marriage becomes the crystallization of love. In this kind of marriage, spouses usually feel happier and more satisfy compare to spouses in Eastern culture because they do not have the pressure of familism. They have more time to manage their relationships, to understand and know each other better. Even when they have children, they see the children as products of their marriage, but not as the whole. However, there is also a downside in this kind of marriage. According to Encyclopedia of Psychology, around forty to fifty percent of marriages couples are divorced. At most a divorce is happened on the seventh year (The Definition of Marriage). Sometimes when couples spend more time on their relationship, they think that the person he or she married is not the right one because they lose interest in their
