At its present stage, prevent it from moving too far towards either less or more intimacy, can be the hardest part of maintenance. This is because depending on the situation you don’t want to give out to much to someone you want to remains friends with, but also don’t want to not open up to someone you can have a real relationship with. This is a decision both people need to come up with through nonverbal communication and let each other know how comfortable they are with one another. To feel satisfied in a relationship you must maintain a favorable balance between rewards and penalties. In other words you need to do what is good for yourself as much as you need to do for the relationship. For me maintenance is the hardest step in any of my relationships.

  • The Value of Intimacy and Love and Civility and Trust to a Society

    889 Words  | 2 Pages

    Intimacy and love are important factors to interpersonal relationship but as a foundation to not governing and controlling society. Consider a situation of three-person group, or also known as a triad, intimacy and love is not successful majority of time (Freidkin 05/20/10). Take for example, a family of three, a father, mother, son or daughter, has unconditionally love for each other. However, as the teenager grows up, he or she may not always agree with the parents' decisions about their life; and/or vice versa, in which the parents may not like the teenager's lifestyle. This shows that we tend to hold other with high regards and respect when we love another. Also, when we love others, we want the best for them and help them make better decisions to have better relations with the party. In relation to society, intimacy and love are not ideal features because they are too personal; not everyone will let others control their lives and surroundings willingly for strangers.

  • Relationships: Now and Then

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    Do we still live in the seventeenth century? It’s very interesting to look back at the differences and similarities in men’s and women’s relationships since then. My husband, Sean, and I were brought up very differently; he was only raised by his mother who provided everything for him food, shelter, and love whereas I had the more traditional family in being raised by both parents. My father was the provider, a construction worker who worked long hours five to six days a week, and my mother, a homemaker, tended the home doing the cooking, cleaning, and also caring for us children. Now that I’m older and have my own husband and children, I find myself using the traditional traits that I’ve seen and learned from my parents. Tending to my husband’s and children’s every need not only seems to be a normal feeling, but it’s a natural instinct for me. According to Edward S. Morgan in The Puritan Family: Religion and Domestic Relations in Seventeenth-Century New England, “In each relationship God had ordained that one party be superior, the other inferior….Wives were instructed that woman was made ultimately for God but immediately for man….” In living in the twenty first century, relationships seem to be better now than they were in the seventeenth century. Men and women today are marrying for love and happiness, and also building their lives together as a team whereas the Puritans married because it was a law of God where the husband was in charge of his wife and being happy didn’t exist.

Truth is both may be right. The definition of relationship depends upon how you see it, therefore meaning there may be millions of different definitions out there.

    The idea and development of relationships was always very black and white for me. I had always seen all relationships such as friendships, partnerships, and family relationships, falling under one category. I have recently learned this is not the case at all. There are actually many different components that make up a relationship and as well different categories for different relationships. Robert Sternberg created a model of love called the triangular model of relationships that encompasses the various elements that are necessary for any relationship and as well the different classifications of relationships (Brannon, 2011). In his model, there are three components that make up the triangle.
