Document Summary
Separate marriage: conventional in marital and family issues, stresses individual freedom (low interdependence) rater than relationship maintenance, little companionship and avoid open conflict with their spouse: higher levels of freedom, not necessarily the closest, don"t like conflict. Competition: idea between couples, deals with the assertiveness of the couple, how strong they can make that point and what they are going to do to get there. Avoidance: terms of not solving the issue and not having a lot of assertiveness and the needs of the couple are what we had. Compromise: folks who are doing what it takes to make it work. Collaboration: willing to fight about it or compromise about it, certain degree of assertiveness. Bonding power rather than connection to reproduction: bonding physically, emotionally, less about the reproductive drive. Physical pleasure and self-disclosure: are you capable of letting it happen and enough confidence and trust to tell your partner what it is you like.
