I have many Facebook friends. Some are past and present students from high school and college, friends from camp, church, and some are coworkers past and present. I have also made many new friends and met in real life for lunch or starbucks several times. For me, Facebook works as an easy way to build new networking friendships and invest in the friendships you already have. Are all of our Facebook friends actually our friends? It’s socially clumsy to think that they are. But that is okay. Networking and online friendships have their own rewards. A few of the friends I have met on Facebook have become very good friends. While I may never meet all of them in person, I am very grateful for them. With the busyness of our lives, Facebook helps me to keep up my friendships.

Human relationships are a fundamental part of life. Studying relationship development is key to understanding why people interact the way they do. To figure this out, it is important to understand how relationships change as we grow older, how the internet affects our relationships, how we remember important points in a relationship, and how rituals affect the quality of a relationship. Learning how these aspects of relationship development work together to build and maintain relationships between couples and friends are important in understanding where these relationships go wrong or why they last.

Many factors can affect the effectiveness of relational maintenance within sibling relationships, such as effort to maintain relationships, age of siblings, and how related they are among other things. In romantic relationships, individuals may experience a higher level of satisfaction within a relationship if their partners’ use of relational maintenance tactics compares favorably to their own (Dainton, 2000). It is possible for this to also be the case for adult sibling relationships since these would be life-long relationships that one would be born into instead of relationships one would form by choice and at any point of their lives. However, those involved in romantic relationships may not experience a greater level of relational satisfaction from relational maintenance the longer there are involved in a relationship. Whether or not this is also the case for adult siblings is an interesting question as there are a variety of factors that can positively or negatively affect their relationships over the course of time. These would include involvement with each other’s families, geographic distance, and continued involvement with parents among other factors. The current amount of relational satisfaction between adult siblings can be compared to that of when they were children; and can also be compared between adult siblings at different stages of their adult life.

When we think of relationships, do we ask ourselves what it truly takes to have mutual ones? We learned about the types of relationships from reading Of Mice and Men and watching movies like The Mighty and Tuesdays with Morrie; what about in real life, however?

There are times where relationships can start off on a parasitic foot. Or maybe they end in parasitism.

Movies and books all depict and digest the contents of a relationship, to be easy and long-lasting; they blind the realities of life and what a bonding relationship truly contains, however, building healthy relationships is not as easy as a page-turner or an hour long clip. Relationships require many things such as daily hugs, lapping ice cream on a hot summer day, inhaling in the cool winter breath, and studying for school till one in the morning; making strong bonds with others is the first step in the building blocks of a thriving healthy relationship. A healthy relationship reflects the qualities of trust and honesty, forgiveness and commitment, mixed with lots of humor and love. “What are we doing, Piglet?” “I’m going to launch

The book is structured around the Relationship Attachment Model, which was created by the author 20 years ago. It “portrays the different forces that create bonds in relationship” and it consists of “five fundamental dynamics, which are the depth to which you know, trust, rely on, have a commitment to and have sexual involvement with” (22). Each of these dynamics provides a unique contribution to the development of a relationship. According to the author, the key of building relationships (by using RAM) is to “keep a balance among the five relationship dynamics”. Whenever the dynamics shift, a person might experiences the feelings of being “unsafe in a relationship, hurt, mistrust and confusion” (24). This model was clearly based on some of the core relational communication theories such as Uncertainty Reduction (URT) and Social Penetration (SPT), as well as it follows Knapp’s staircase model in advising at how one should progress on the staircase and implications of going too fast.
