This week in class we
talked about four different theories that go along with dating and marriage.
These four theories start with the family system which shows how each part in a
family is necessary. Exchange theory which is weighing the pros and the cons. Symbolic
interaction theory which is when we are more affected by our own thoughts then what
the person that stated it really meant. And the last theory is the conflict
theory which in any relationship there will be some conflict.
I
have come to understand these four theories extremely better then what I thought
of them before. These four theories all play a huge role in our lives. In our
family right now as well as our future family we need to be able to include
everyone. This will help us out extremely. We need to be able to weigh out the
pros and cons to each relationship that is in our lives and determine for
ourselves if it is worth it or not. If it’s not worth it get out! It will most
likely be destructive. We also need to be able to understand what others mean
by what they say. Not just our own interpretation of what we think they mean. This
can be crucial because we all have our own way of interpreting others because we
have all grown up in different circumstances. Last of all is the conflict
theory. I think the biggest thing for conflict is being able to compromise. Compromising
is a great skill that we need to continue to build and grow. I think a lot of
the marriages that tend to have issues is because neither side wants to
compromise. Compromising is the key to relationships and will reduce the
conflict within it.
I
believe these are all extremely important concepts in dating and marriage. And I
hope by writing this is will help any of those who read this.
