In the clip from “New York, I Love You,” there were a few problems and strengths that I noticed in the couple. The couple constantly bickered and fussed over the smallest matters. The first problem I noticed from the couple is that they are both stubborn, which led to the constant bickering. Secondly, it appeared that the husband has pride issues because he did not want to accept help from his wife. For an example, he did not really listen when she was telling him to pick up his feet. This potential problem can lead to the husband pushing the wife away. Lastly, the couple’s physical health is different stages and that can led to a high level of frustrations. It’s frustrating for one person to be able to do something and the other person cannot do it.
2. Even though the couple constantly argued in the clip, you can tell they had a very strong bond. One of their main strengths is their great line of communication. It may appear as a bad communication, but they were just honest with one another. Secondly, the couple helped each other while they were walking through the city. The wife made sure that she helped the husband step up to get on the sidewalk.

My family consists of my mom, my father, two older brothers, then myself. My parents are now divorced so there was a transition in roles. When I read the story about Ralph and Alice, it reminded me of my parents. Before my parents got a divorced, my dad was the provider so he performed the instrumental tasks. My mom was a stay at home mom for years so she performed the expressive tasks. The older my brothers and I became, the less satisfied my mom became. She pretty much had the same issues and complaints as Alice. Therefore, my parents ended up getting a divorced. My dad still played a huge role so he still performed the instrumental tasks from my brothers and I. Then, my mom started to perform the instrumental tasks and the expressive tasks. Even though it was tough at times, my mom loved performing both
In the end of the movie, the interpersonal conflict was dealt appropriately, because both protagonists learned how to talk to each other and share their feelings, but it was a long process. The conflict in this movie escalated to the point that the couple communication style was quite aggressive “people who use an aggressive communication style tend to dominate conversations. They typically speak at a high or low pitch, and their tone of voice can be demanding” (Sole, 2011). Finally they realize that there is a conflict and work things out.
Parenting played a big role in shaping the two boys lives. Having a parental mentor is important because they assist and guide children to take the right decisions about their lives. The author had his two parents at the beginning of his life. Also, the author’s parents, especially his mother, tried to raise him in an effective way wanting him to know the right from wrong at an early age. “No mommy loves you, like I love you, she just wants you to do the right thing” (Moore 11). This quote was a live example of the author’s life with his parents. It reflected the different ways his parents used to teach him “the right thing.” Though his mother was upset from his action toward his sister, his father
This episode creates two characters with distinctive and strong personalities, and in this “ingenious twisted” story, the barriers of their love is not environment or physical stuffs, but the cage of their mind. When Yorkie tells Kelly that she is engaged to a man named Greg, and say, “I have to marry him”, that’s not because engagement cannot be disobeyed or how much she loves this man, but being married to Greg is the only chance for Yorkie to live a life that never had before. 40 years ago, Yorkie ran her car off the road, since she was despondent over being rejected by her parents when she came out to them as gay. In the past 40 years, she was paralyzed and only can survive via life support. However, because Yorkie is compelled to stay at 21 years old, she is able to keep her in young and innocent state of mind, which makes her not
This semester, we’ve learned a lot of things about what goes on in married relationships and cohabitation relationships. We’ve been taught how to deal with situations and changes that may occur within any relationship. In order to apply the research I’ve learned about, I have chosen to compare a few topic that took place in the movie Love and Basketball. This movie shows many gender roles, nonverbal behaviors, family impacts on relationships, and how communication is key.
The couple had survived a lot of happening between them and even long distance.Long distance was probably the

This novel takes place primarily in the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, during the period of the 1980s to the 2000s. Renee and Rob both met there in a bar named the ‘Eastern Standard’ both at the age of twenty-three. He initially planned to keep his relationship to Charlottesville strictly one of host and guest. Both he and Renee didn’t really favor Charlottesville. Then life had another plan for Rob and it was to fall in love. The setting was also a crucial part in the story because it was a music thriving environment at the time and in Charlottesville. Also, it shows that it greatly influenced the connection that Renee and Rob made with each other. The setting
Continuing to read this story I found more situations relatable. The argument between the mother and the children made me think of my mother and I fighting. We disagreed a great deal, but we always resolve our conflict. At the end of the day, she is my mother and I am her daughter, and family sticks together. The mother hiked with no pants, and unknowingly loses one of her loafers in the snow. The children assisted her with the search for it, but ended up creating her a shoe from their hats and scarfs. The existing love the children shared for their mother conqured the dismay they previously felt for her. That’s how it was for my mother and me. The love was not always visible but it was still present.
When he gets home from work he is sometimes crabby about things that happened at work or just a bad customer getting on his mood. Audelia said it was better to just stay quiet and let him rant. Although, sometimes she gets tired of trying to understand him so she just sings her heart out to not hear him. Alex said that the one thing that has kept their marriage together was work. Apparently cause it brings money to the house and it helps. What Audelia believes about divorces and not completing "till death do us part" is that it happens because people have a lack of communication and trust. She gave me a very insightful example about how couples perhaps get so fed up about something the significant other but they don't tell the other. Communication is key in everything in life. Alex said that the most likely reason that couples break up is the lack of trust. If they don't trust the other person at all how can they continue to have a
At the core of every healthy marriage is the ability to successfully communicate with each other. If the individuals in the marriage do not communicate effectively, they are both likely to experience frustration, anger and resentment. Effective communication in marriage is honestly the most important aspect of a successful relationship. In “Cathedral,” Raymond Carver is saying that communication within marriage is key and when there is a lack of communication it can cause frustration. This makes each individual disconnected because their true feelings aren’t being talked about so nothing is being resolved. Nobody's born a natural communicator and good communication is the key to improving your relationship.
I can tell from your blog you feel a strong connection to Hans and Liesel's friendship that has evolved. Personally, not trying to be stereotypical, I would expect the mother to take on the comforting role and the dad to take the role of the teacher. However, Hans plays both the comforting teddy bear and the teacher. Rosa plays the role of the evil step mom. He is teaching Liesel how to read and comprehend at the wee hours of the morning. He sacrifices sleep just so she can feel comforted after having those awful nightmares. You talked a little about I made a deep connection to your blog because I have a very strong relationship with my dad. Similar to Hans, my dad teaches me about life. My dad has always instilled in me strong beliefs and
Edna St. Vincent Millay invokes a deep tone of regret between a couple of past lovers in two penitent poems; however, the poems deviate from each other in regards to the tones the speakers use to convey their repentance. The speaker’s tone in “I Think I Should Have Loved You Presently” can be seen as lustful while the speaker in “Time Does Not Bring Relief; You All Have Lied” has a frustrated tone.
Reality television is a genre of television programming which presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features "ordinary" people over professional actors. After a couple of shows I became interested in the reality television show Love & Hip Hop Atlanta around 2014. After watching one episode, I was addicted to the show like it was a drug. Ever since then I have not missed a show. I heard about this reality television show from a friend at school, but I just didn't think that I would want to watch a show about men in the music business and the women who surround them. The targeted audience for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta is females, especially African Americans, ranging from ages 18-49 years old. According
The “Angry Couple” video depicts a therapeutic session concerning an angry couple who appears to be having difficulty listening to the concerns each have with the other, their relationship and with their therapist. Before the therapy session begins, Dr. Susan Heitler arranges the room for symmetry and interaction. She then begins the therapeutic session by asking a few intake interview questions to better assist the couple in the counseling process.
