My Interpersonal Relationship My wife is the perfect person for my relationship analysis, because we are extremely close. My wife Amanda and I have long meaningful conversations at least once a week. We have three daughters so our conversations can go anywhere from our relationship expectations to our parenting styles. Even though we sometimes have arguments about the other persons parenting style, in the end we both know that by collaborating and compromising we can get through anything. In our relationship it is important to have a good foundation in which we support each other. Empathy is very important to Amanda and me. We both realize that no relationship is perfect as long as we support each other, we can get through anything. Amanda and I usually have important conversations in our room after the children have gone to bed. One night after completing an assignment about relationship expectations, my wife and I went over what we expect from our relationships. For instance I told her that when we have conversations I prefer for her to give me eye contact and clarify that she heard and understood
I also realize that I pay more attention to the way I have conversations with others. This class has helped me see what a great relationship I have with my wife, and how I can improve it. I know that the health of our marriage depends on how well we know each other’s expectations, making sure that even though she is a permissive parent and I an authoritative parent, we must collaborate and compromise to be able to be the best possible parents to our daughters. Being supportive to one another is the foundation to our marriage.
