Since I am newly married I thought the section about relationship types was interesting. There were 5 different relationship types of marriage relationships. The five types are vital marriage, total marriage, passive-congenial marriage, devitalized marriage, and conflict-habituated marriage. When I look at my relationship in my marriage I think it is like total marriage. My husband and I are very close emotionally and want to be together physically but we have some different interests. We love being together but also take the time to enjoy activities separately with our friends. When I look at my parents marriage before they got divorced for many years they had a conflict-habitual marriage. They were not compatible but my mother fought to keep the marriage together for me. So I grew up with them fighting a lot and I never really saw any love in the marriage. I want to believe that a marriage can be a great thing for many years if you are compatible and continue to work through problems in an appropriate manner through good communication.
I really liked that you recently married, so I am sure this topic was very interesting to you. I am very glad to know that your marriage is the same as the real definition of a marriage. Many marriages nowadays tend to be far from being the ideal marriage from back in the day. I know that when I get married, I will give it my all to make it be like the marriages that occurred in the past. I wish you the best of luck in your marriage, and honestly hope you and your husband are full with happiness and love. Having a marriage that fits the definition of what marriage should really be, is definitely amazing. Congratulations!
