| A Life Preserver when Drowning in a Relationship http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art46956.asp This is an article on the BellaOnline: The Voice of Women website. It seems to be a self-help site for women who need encouragement of what to do in their relationships. The Relationship Editor for this site references her readers to a few books, but a large amount of her "counseling" is based on what she's read and her own "experiments." It was very interesting reading this insert because it really made me see how the writer, Pam Garlick is stuck between the Dominance and Equity models of marriage. She claims that her relationship is getting better by her "becoming humble" instead of her husband, and inturn (like many of Dr. Laura's readers) he gives her respect and love. Her husband also, "honors me by wanting my input into nearly every decision we make, without me having to push my opinion on him." That line showed me that it really is up to the male to determine what level of marriage their relationship will float. |

| Do You Really Know How to Communicate? - Psychologist 4therapy.com http://www.4therapy.com/consumer/life_topics/article/7121/113/Do+You+Really+Know+How+to+Communicate%3F This is an interesting advice column on negotiation. It has a few characteristics of sexual conjugial conversation on the authors tips of good negotiating. For instance: "...you need to give up being heard first. Set aside your own reality and focus..." This reminds me of the second rule of conjugial conversation (page 72, Section 17a) which states, "to deny himself the right to express disagreement with her." This column also has a few hints of the dominance model too. There is a section that seems to have an underlying message that women are at fault for "outburst-like" arguments in the family. There is a line that says: "If she is able to be gracious and not beat him up for his choices..." the husband might reciprocate in a reasonable manner. I just found it interesting because even though the main theme of the article is equity based, it has a few hints of the other models as well. It's almost like the author is confused on what type of advice to give to her readers. |

| Is Marriage Eternal? http://www.christianitytoday.com/tc/2003/004/17.18.html I've come across a few sites where people are asking if "marriage is eternal." I thought it was interesting, not of the people asking the question but how similar all the religious-based websites were the same in their response: it is if you believe it to be. It doesn't say that eternal love is something that is obtained through the marriage that a couple works for. It says basically that eternal marriage is like wanting to buy candy. If you feel like going to the market to get the candy you want, then you'll have it. Another thing that I found interesting is how both sites discussed the issue of remarriage. The Christianity Today site says that nothing would happen based on the story of the Sadducees. However a Morman site (Is marriage eternal? - ChrisitianAnswers.net) adds that the bible also includes until death do us part due to Romans 7:2 when Paul says, "...but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband." |
