Developing

and

Maintaining

Romantic

Relationships

Developing

and

Maintaining

Romantic

Relationships

Like

other

relationships

in

our

lives

romantic

relationships

play

an

important

role

in

fulfilling

our

needs

for

intimacy

social

connection

and

sexual

relations

Like

friendships

romantic

relationships

also

follow

general

stages

of

creation

and

deterioration

Before

we

explore

these

stages

lets

look

at

our

definition

of

romantic

relationships

In

many

Western

cultures

romantic

relationships

are

voluntary

We

are

free

to

decide

whom

to

date

and

form

lifelong

romantic

relationships

In

some

Eastern

cultures

these

decisions

may

be

made

by

parents

or

elders

in

the

community

based

on

what

is

good

for

the

family

or

social

group

Even

in

Western

societies

not

everyone

holds

the

same

amount

of

freedom

and

power

to

determine

their

relational

partners

Parents

or

society

may

discourage

interracial

interfaith

or

interclass

relationships

While

it

is

now

legal

for

samesex

couples

to

marry

many

samesex

couples

still

suffer

political

and

social

restrictions

when

making

choices

about

Think

about

your

own

romantic

relationships

for

a

moment

To

whom

are

you

attracted

Chances

are

they

are

people

with

whom

you

share

common

interests

and

encounter

in

your

everyday

routines

such

as

going

to

school

work

or

participation

in

hobbies

or

sports

In

other

words

selfidentity

similarity

and

proximity

are

three

powerful

influences

when

it

comes

to

whom

we

select

as

romantic

partners

We

often

select

others

that

we

deem

appropriate

for

us

as

they

fit

our

selfidentity

heterosexuals

pair

up

with

other

heterosexuals

lesbian

women

with

other

lesbian

women

and

so

forth

Social

class

religious

preference

and

ethnic

or

racial

identity

are

also

great

influences

as

people

are

more

likely

to

pair

up

with

others

of

similar

backgrounds

Logically

speaking

it

is

difficult

although

not

impossible

with

the

prevalence

of

social

media

and

online

dating

services

to

meet

people

outside

of

our

immediate

geographic

area

In

other

words

There

are

ten

established

stages

of

interaction

that

can

help

us

understand

how

relationships

come

together

and

come

apart

Knapp

Vangelisti

We

will

discuss

each

stage

in

more

detail

We

should

keep

the

following

things

in

mind

about

this

model

of

relationship

development

relational

partners

do

not

always

go

through

the

stages

sequentially

some

relationships

do

not

experience

all

the

stages

we

do

not

always

consciously

move

between

stages

and

coming

together

and

coming

apart

are

not

inherently

good

or

bad

Relationships

are

always

changingthey

are

dynamic

Although

this

model

has

been

applied

most

often

to

romantic

relationships

most

Knapps

Stages

of

Relationship

Development

Coming

Together

Phase

Stage

Initiating

In

the

initiating

stage

we

are

attracted

to

someone

we

may

signal

or

invite

them

to

interact

with

us

For

example

you

can

do

this

by

asking

them

to

dinner

to

dance

at

a

club

or

even

I

really

liked

that

movie

What

did

you

think

The

significance

here

is

in

the

relational

level

how

the

people

feel

about

each

other

rather

than

the

content

level

the

topic

of

the

message

As

the

poet

Maya

Angelou

explains

Words

mean

more

than

what

is

set

down

on

paper

It

takes

the

human

voice

to

infuse

them

with

shades

of

deeper

meaning

The

shades

of

deeper

meaning

are

the

relational

level

messages

that

invite

others

to

continue

exploring

a

possible

romantic

Initiating

is

influenced

by

several

factors

If

you

encounter

a

stranger

you

may

say

Hi

my

names

Rich

If

you

encounter

a

person

you

already

know

youve

already

gone

through

this

before

so

you

may

just

say

Whats

up

Time

constraints

also

affect

initiation

A

quick

passing

calls

for

a

quick

hello

while

a

scheduled

meeting

may

entail

a

more

formal

start

If

you

already

know

the

person

the

length

of

time

thats

passed

since

your

last

encounter

will

affect

your

initiation

For

example

if

you

see

a

friend

from

high

school

while

home

for

winter

break

you

may

set

aside

a

long

block

of

time

to

catch

up

however

if

you

see

someone

at

work

that

you

just

spoke

to

ten

minutes

earlier

you

may

skip

initiating

communication

The

setting

also

affects

how

we

initiate

conversations

as

we

communicate

differently

at

a

crowded

bar

than

we

do

on

an

airplane

Culture

can

also

impact

the

interaction

Some

cultures

have

different

expectations

for

interactions

between

people

of

different

ages

sexes

or

other

situations

while

some

cultures

do

not

have

as

many

expectations

Even

with

all

this

variation

people

typically

follow

their

cultures

social

scripts

or

interaction

at

this

stage

Stage

Experimenting

In

the

experimenting

stage

we

are

getting

to

know

the

other

person

to

identify

compatibility

beyond

physical

attraction

We

share

information

about

ourselves

while

looking

for

mutual

interests

shared

political

or

religious

views

and

similarities

in

family

background

Common

dating

activities

in

this

stage

include

going

to

parties

or

other

publicly

structured

events

such

as

movies

or

a

concert

that

foster

interaction

and

small

talk

Small

talk

a

hallmark

of

the

experimenting

stage

is

common

among

young

adults

just

beginning

to

explore

a

new

relationship

by

staying

on

polite

uncontroversial

topics

Small

talk

can

be

annoying

sometimes

especially

if

you

feel

like

you

have

to

do

it

out

of

politeness

but

it

serves

important

functions

such

as

creating

Stage

Intensifying

In

the

intensifying

stage

we

continue

to

be

attracted

mentally

emotionally

and

physically

to

one

another

we

begin

engaging

in

intensifying

communication

This

is

the

happy

stage

the

relationship

high

where

we

can

not

bear

to

be

away

from

the

other

person

It

is

here

that

you

might

plan

all

of

your

free

time

together

and

begin

to

create

a

private

relational

culture

Going

out

to

parties

and

socializing

with

friends

takes

a

back

seat

to

more

private

activities

such

as

cooking

dinner

together

at

home

or

taking

long

walks

on

the

beach

Selfdisclosure

continues

to

increase

as

each

person

has

a

strong

desire

to

know

and

understand

the

other

In

this

stage

we

tend

to

idealize

one

another

in

that

we

downplay

faults

or

dont

see

them

at

all

seeing

only

the

positive

qualities

of

the

other

person

Other

signs

of

the

intensifying

stage

can

include

creation

of

nicknames

or

inside

jokes

increased

use

of

we

and

our

increased

sharing

emotionally

eg

saying

I

love

you

increased

physical

intimacy

increased

communication

about

each

others

identities

increased

sharing

of

possessions

and

personal

space

eg

you

have

a

key

to

your

partners

Putting

Love

to

the

Test

In

his

book

The

Five

Love

Languages

How

to

Express

Heartfelt

Commitment

to

Your

Mate

Gary

Chapman

states

that

there

are

five

ways

people

express

and

experience

love

gift

giving

quality

time

words

of

affirmation

acts

of

service

devotion

and

physical

touch

He

argues

that

although

people

can

experience

and

appreciate

each

of

the

five

styles

each

person

has

a

primary

and

a

secondary

love

language

Chapman

has

a

quiz

on

his

website

that

you

can

use

to

discover

your

love

language

In

a

column

on

WebMD

Stephanie

Watson

and

her

husband

took

the

test

and

tried

out

each

of

Chapmans

languages

httpwwwwebmdcomsexrelationshipsfeaturesthefivelovelanguagestested1

What

were

your

initial

thoughts

to

how

scholarly

or

helpful

the

love

languages

seemed

Did

you

find

this

couple

to

be

indicative

of

a

real

couple

Why

do

you

think

Web

MD

would

publish

an

article

on

the

idea

of

love

languages

If

you

feel

comfortable

identify

your

love

language

and

provide

some

examples

of

what

you

really

need

to

fill

Stage

Integrating

In

the

integrating

stage

identities

and

personalities

are

merged

and

a

sense

of

interdependence

dependence

on

each

other

develops

Verbal

and

nonverbal

signals

of

the

integrating

stage

are

when

the

social

networks

of

two

people

merge

those

outside

the

relationship

begin

to

refer

to

or

treat

the

relationship

partners

as

if

they

were

one

person

eg

always

referring

to

them

togetherLets

invite

Olaf

and

Bettina

or

the

relational

partners

present

themselves

as

one

unit

eg

both

signing

and

sending

one

holiday

card

or

opening

a

joint

bank

account

Even

as

two

people

integrate

they

likely

maintain

some

sense

of

self

by

spending

time

with

friends

and

family

separately

which

helps

balance

their

needs

for

independence

and

connection

They

are

When

the

relational

high

begins

to

wear

off

couples

begin

to

have

a

more

realistic

perspective

of

one

another

and

the

relationship

as

a

whole

Here

people

may

recognize

the

faults

of

the

other

person

that

they

so

idealized

in

the

previous

stage

Also

couples

must

again

make

decisions

about

where

to

go

with

the

relationshipdo

they

stay

together

and

work

toward

longterm

goals

or

define

it

as

a

shortterm

relationship

A

couple

may

be

deeply

in

love

and

also

make

the

decision

to

break

off

the

relationship

for

a

multitude

of

reasons

Perhaps

one

person

wants

to

join

the

Stage

Bonding

In

the

Bonding

stage

a

couple

makes

the

decision

to

make

the

relationship

a

permanent

part

of

their

lives

In

this

stage

the

participants

assume

they

will

be

in

each

others

lives

forever

and

make

joint

decisions

about

the

future

While

marriage

is

an

obvious

sign

of

commitment

it

is

not

the

only

signifier

of

this

stage

Some

may

mark

their

intention

of

staying

together

in

a

commitment

ceremony

by

registering

as

domestic

partners

or

by

becoming

Facebook

official

Likewise

not

all

couples

planning

a

future

together

legally

Some

may

lose

economic

benefits

if

they

marry

such

as

the

loss

of

Social

Security

for

seniors

or

others

may

oppose

the

institution

and

its

inequality

The

to

legal

marriage

to

couples

Since

then

Canada

and

Not

only

do

romantic

couples

progress

through

a

series

of

stages

of

growth

they

also

experience

stages

of

deterioration

Deterioration

does

not

necessarily

mean

that

a

relationship

will

end

Instead

couples

may

move

back

Coming

Phase

Stage

Differentiating

Individual

differences

can

present

a

challenge

at

any

given

stage

in

the

relational

interaction

model

however

in

the

differentiating

stage

each

partner

in

the

relationship

is

reasserting

their

sense

of

self

and

trying

to

discover

who

they

are

as

part

of

a

couple

Communicating

differences

becomes

a

primary

focus

Differentiating

is

the

reverse

of

integrating

as

we

and

our

reverts

back

to

I

and

my

People

may

try

to

reestablish

some

of

their

life

prior

to

the

integrating

of

the

current

relationship

including

other

relationships

hobbies

and

interests

or

possessions

For

example

Carrie

may

reclaim

friends

who

became

shared

as

she

got

closer

to

her

partner

and

their

social

networks

merged

by

saying

Im

having

my

friends

over

to

the

apartment

and

would

like

to

have

privacy

for

the

evening

Or

she

may

have

liked

playing

golf

on

Sundays

and

abandoned

it

for

Stage

Circumscribing

In

the

circumscribing

stage

communication

decreases

and

certain

areas

or

subjects

become

restricted

as

individuals

verbally

close

themselves

off

from

means

to

things

If

one

person

was

Stage

Stagnating

During

the

stagnating

stage

romantic

partners

begin

to

neglect

the

small

details

that

have

always

bound

them

together

and

their

relationship

becomes

routine

For

example

they

may

stop

cuddling

on

the

couch

when

they

rent

a

movie

and

instead

sit

in

opposite

chairs

Taken

in

isolation

this

example

does

not

mean

a

relationship

is

in

trouble

However

when

intimacy

continues

to

decrease

and

the

partners

feel

dissatisfied

this

dissatisfaction

can

lead

to

worrying

about

the

relationship

The

partners

may

worry

that

they

do

not

connect

with

one

another

in

ways

they

used

to

or

that

they

no

longer

do

fun

things

together

When

this

happens

they

may

begin

to

imagine

their

life

without

the

relationship

Rather

than

seeing

the

relationship

as

a

given

the

couple

may

begin

to

wonder

what

life

would

be

like

not

being

in

the

partnership

They

begin

to

assume

that

they

know

their

partner

and

are

dissatisfied

with

them

Instead

of

communicating

a

person

may

think

Theres

no

need

to

bring

this

up

again

because

I

know

exactly

how

hell

react

Because

of

this

kind

of

thinking

communication

comes

to

a

standstill

This

stage

can

be

prolonged

in

some

relationships

Parents

and

children

who

are

estranged

couples

who

are

separated

and

awaiting

a

divorce

or

friends

who

want

to

end

a

relationship

but

dont

know

how

to

do

it

may

have

extended

periods

of

stagnation

Although

most

people

dont

like

to

linger

in

this

unpleasant

stage

some

try

to

avoid

potential

pain

from

termination

some

hope

to

rekindle

the

spark

that

started

the

relationship

or

even

some

enjoy

leading

their

relational

partner

on

Stage

Avoiding

In

the

avoiding

stage

the

romantic

partners

begin

to

further

withdraw

from

the

relationship

characterized

by

decreased

or

absent

intimacy

physical

and

emotional

Avoiding

may

be

a

way

to

end

the

awkwardness

that

comes

with

stagnation

as

people

signal

that

they

want

to

close

down

the

lines

of

communication

During

avoidance

people

can

avoid

meaningful

communication

with

each

other

by

making

excuses

like

I

have

to

meet

someone

in

a

little

while

so

I

cant

talk

long

or

they

can

directly

say

something

like

I

dont

want

to

talk

to

you

anymore

The

avoidance

stage

can

also

involve

people

physically

avoiding

each

other

They

may

choose

to

occupy

separate

bedrooms

or

work

longer

hours

However

in

a

relationship

Stage

Terminating

The

terminating

stage

of

a

relationship

is

when

the

relationship

is

ended

Termination

can

occur

at

any

point

in

the

relational

development

model

or

follow

through

the

phases

of

coming

together

and

coming

apart

Termination

can

result

from

outside

circumstances

such

as

geographic

separation

or

internal

factors

such

as

changing

values

or

personalities

that

lead

to

a

weakening

of

the

bond

When

terminating

a

relationship

people

will

often

follow

a

pattern

that

is

typical

of

their

culture

In

mainstream

American

culture

for

example

it

is

typical

for

someone

to

start

the

formal

termination

of

a

relationship

with

a

summary

message

that

recaps

the

relationship

and

provides

a

reason

for

the

termination

eg

Interpersonal

Communication

and

You

Ending

Romance

Often

relationships

end

and

do

so

for

a

variety

of

reasons

People

may

call

it

quits

for

serious

issues

such

as

unfaithfulness

or

long

distance

struggles

While

sometimes

people

slowly

grow

apart

and

mutually

decide

to

move

on

without

each

other

There

are

a

plethora

of

reasons

why

people

end

their

relationships

Sometimes

it

is

not

a

pleasant

experience

the

initial

realization

that

the

relationship

is

going

to

cease

to

exist

the

process

of

breaking

up

and

then

the

aftermath

of

the

situation

can

be

difficult

to

navigate

move

without

A

couple

Obviously

simply

committing

is

not

enough

to

maintain

a

relationship

through

tough

times

that

occur

as

couples

grow

and

change

Like

a

ship

set

on

a

destination

a

couple

must

learn

to

steer

through

rough

waves

as

well

as

calm

waters

A

couple

can

accomplish

this

by

learning

to

communicate

through

the

good

and

the

bad

Stabilization

is

maintaining

a

relationship

by

continuing

to

their

of

The

Outside

pressures

such

as

professional

duties

and

financial

put

added

on

relationships

that

require

attention

and

If

a

neglects

to

effective

communication

with

another

coping

with

becomes

increasingly

stressful

puts

the

deteriorating

the

can

engage

in

maintenance

a

of

behaviors

used

by

partners

in

an

effort

to

stay

together

If

the

is

they

may

to

by

about

their

If

they

are

in

they

may

listen

to

problems

or

offer

invitations

to

go

out

and

keep

they

The

needs

social

from

will

discuss

how

to

resolve

problematic

issues

and

may

seek

outside

help

such

as

a

therapist

to

them

work

through

We

often

consider

termination

or

breaking

up

as

a

negative

or

undesired

effect

of

a

poor

relationship

but

it

can

be

a

valuable

experience

that

provides

growth

and

may

sometimes

be

a

positive

outcome

Imagine

those

that

are

able

to

leave

a

hostile

or

abusive

relationship

and

return

to

healthy

communication

Good

or

bad

people

need

to

take

the

time

to

process

the

end

of

a

relationship

in

order

to

fully

understand

the

meaning

of

the

relationship

why

it

ended

and

what

they

can

learn

from

the

experience

Going

through

this

is

a

healthy

way

to

learn

to

navigate

future

Understanding

how

relationships

develop

coming

together

and

apart

is

valuable

because

we

are

provided

with

a

way

to

recognize

general

communicative

patterns

and

maintenance

behaviors

we

have

at

each

stage

of

our

relationships

Knowing

what

our

choices

are

and

their

potential

consequences

give

us

greater

tools

to

build

the

kind

of

we

desire

in

Your

Baker

v

Carr

Significance

court

voters

tennessee

This

case

made

it

possible

for

unrepresented

voters

to

have

their

districts

redrawn

by

federal

courts

initiating

a

decade

of

lawsuits

that

would

eventually

result

in

a

redrawing

of

the

nations

political

map

In

many

states

it

reduced

the

disproportionate

power

of

rural

voters

and

their

legislative

representation

and

increased

that

of

urban

and

suburban

voters

and

their

representation

Citizens

of

Memphis

Nashville

and

Knoxville

Tennessee

sought

to

have

their

electoral

districts

redrawn

The

districts

had

not

been

reapportioned

since

and

since

then

a

considerable

population

shift

had

taken

place

from

rural

to

urban

locales

The

result

was

that

residents

of

these

cities

felt

they

were

being

underrepresented

in

the

state

legislature

in

violation

of

the

equal

protection

guarantees

contained

in

the

Fourteenth

Amendment

The

US

District

Court

for

the

Middle

District

of

Tennessee

declined

to

grant

the

plaintiffs

request

that

a

declaratory

judgment

be

issued

indicating

that

the

Tennessee

apportionment

act

was

unconstitutional

and

that

an

injunction

This

procedure

for

getting

to

the

Supreme

Court

was

by

this

date

unusual

and

everyone

involved

in

the

case

recognized

that

everything

about

it

was

extraordinary

Various

parties

including

the

solicitor

general

filed

amicus

briefs

and

the

Court

heard

three

hours

of

oral

argument

permitting

the

attorneys

to

present

their

case

at

far

greater

length

than

is

normally

allowed

After

this

initial

argument

on

April

the

case

was

reargued

on

October

before

the

justices

released

five

opinions

totalling

pages

The

Court

divided

with

Justice

Brennan

delivering

the

opinion

of

the

majority

He

dispensed

with

the

argument

that

the

case

involved

a

political

question

which

the

Court

could

not

decide

The

courts

can

not

reject

as

no

law

suit

a

bona

fide

controversy

as

to

whether

some

action

denominated

as

political

exceeds

constitutional

authority

And

in

the

end

the

Court

found

that

the

appellants

claim

had

merit

We

conclude

that

the

complaints

allegations

of

a

denial

of

equal

protection

present

a

justifiable

constitutional

cause

of

action

upon

which

appellants

are

entitled

to

a

trial

and

a

decision

The

right

asserted

is

within

reach

of

judicial

protection

under

the

Fourteenth

Amendment

The

Court

sent

the

case

back

to

the

federal

district

court

for

further

proceedings

The

consequences

of

this

potential

outcome

had

been

clear

from

the

start

Now

Justice

Brennans

opinion

cast

doubt

on

legislative

districting

throughout

the

country

Indeed

within

a

decade

electoral

boundaries

had

been

redrawn

everywhere

Baker

v

Carr

which

Chief

Justice

Warren

called

the

most

vital

decision

handed

down

during

his

long

and

eventful

tenure

on

the

Court

started

a

reapportionment

revolution

that

helped

to

establish

the

one

person

one

vote

precept

formally

announced

in

Gray

v

Sanders

and

confirmed

in

Wesberry

v

Sanders

and

Reynolds

v

Sims

Now

that

voters

had

access

to

federal

courts

they

had

the

power

to

enforce

the

principle

of

equal

protection

under

the

laws

that

the

Fourteenth

had

codified

years

before

of normalcy Through constructed tableaus and metaphorical still lifes the series reveals the relationship between reality and perception and highlights issues of pathology while questioning stereotypes of normalcy In 2009 economist Bill Gross used the term New Normal to define the American economic landscape of the very recent past In ensuing years the term resonated with culture at large and became an umbrella term for changes in cultural and societal practices identifying a shift in held notions of what is commonly viewed as acceptable These images question the legitimacy of applying the term normal in a societal context by prompting a reconsideration of what if anything is normal or at least what is perceived and labeled as such Is it possible for a society to have a commonly held idea of what is normal when few individuals in that society actually meet the criteria for normalcy Tags Behavior John William Keedy Mental Health Posts on Lenscratch may not be
