In life there are many researchers that try to find truth to what they are studying. Relationships are one of the most popular things to research. There are many different angles that have been covered over the years with how relationships function. How to predict these types of research can be very misconstrued or have real truth to what they might come up with. Many relationships that are researched are marriages, this will be researched till the end of time. Marriages can be researched in a verity of topics, mostly how to improve or fix the marriages. As I read the article “Can we talk?” I feel as if the research that the author was talking about was true. Communication in a marriage is vital and it has to happen, if it doesn’t then the relationship cannot move forward. I can relate to this article, in my marriage it is not always good or even great. Marriage’s are constantly changing and needs to be worked on every day. I know in my marriage I have to have open lines of communication or things may not go so well.
My wife and I sometimes have communication problems and it becomes an all out war between us. My marriage works better when we have communication, when there isn’t as much it seems as if we are two different people. I believe in what this article is saying, because of what the author is saying she researched. “In the (research) literature, as well as for my couples, communication means you’re sharing and really getting to know one another”(Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune).
Gay Marriage Research Paper
Most people believe that they deserve the rights they are granted by the government; an upstanding citizen who pays their taxes, serves their community and abides by the law should be afforded the rights of an American. However, not all citizens are afforded equal rights. Specifically, gay and lesbians couples are denied the right to marry even if they are upstanding citizens. Gays are people who ...
I feel that when my wife and I speak to each other we can have a smoother life. The author also says to consider speaking together for 10 minutes and have a solid conversation with your spouse or partner. The author also states that the conversation should be about “self-disclosure,” or sharing your private feelings, fears, doubts and perceptions with your partner” (Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune).
I think it is very important that self-disclosure is satisfaction in a relationship because it sets up the relationship for no surprises.
It makes all the information about the person out and lets the other person know what that individual is all about. Behavior that makes your partner feel loved, cared for or special -plays a role in happy marriages and that men need it more than women. Affective affirmation can be as simple as a hug, a thank you or buying a partner’s favorite food. Men tend to favor gestures of affirmation over words, Orbuch says. Women tend to go with verbal affirmation (Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune).
This is true with my marriage because this is exactly how it is in my house. I feel like I fit into this generalization because everything that the researcher has brought to light I have agreed on what she has said. But that doesn’t mean that it is true for every person. Research is generalized to specific people, but can be mad to cover a lot of topics that may be true and false. In this article I have agreed with what the researcher had to report back. Marriage has to have communication in order to be able to move forward. If relationships don’t have a solid foundation I can fall apart and not be a successful one. I feel as if the researcher was on point with what their studies showed. I have experienced many of these trials in my marriage which leads me to believe this is truth.
