Document Summary
From distal (outer circle) to proximal domains (inner circle) Adopting an interdisciplinary approach involves locating intimate relationships within a large web of causes that range form deep time to processes that currently exist in the minds and social networks of individuals. Distal proximal dimension must be represented at the proximal level in our minds/brains and bodies ; otherwise it is hard to see how they could exert any influence on partners or relationships. Proximal units that do the casual work. Six themes that tie together different parts of the relationship element: the power of culture and evolution. Monogamous relationships are the norm in most cultures, polygynous marriages are also common, and even polyandrous marriages exist, although they are rare. The existence of polyandrous marriages posses a special problem for evolutionary approaches because there seems to be nothing in it for the males, in terms of reproductive success.
