I chose this article because it references stories pertaining to relationships. When I think of stories I think of the ending where it usually ends, the lived happily ever after. What do people mean by that expression, happily ever after until they died or happily ever after until the end of time? I want my wife and I to reach the celestial marriage level so I know we will be together forever.

This article talks about how broken marriages may lead to poverty, social problems, gangs, and violence. It suggests that instead of trying to remedy the social problems, maybe funds should be given to help keep marriages together. How would this be done? After given funds, programs would be created to inform people on the value of marriages on men, women and children. The Healthy Marriage Initiative would teach couples good marriage skills to help build stronger relationships. It would focus mainly on low income areas where crime rates and single parents are common. This article caught my attention because I never looked at marriage having such a big impact on other things. I know to some extent, it affected individuals, but I never took a social perspective on it. At once, I believed a couple should work things out for the kids, I’m not so sure where currently stand on this issue now, but I do believe that marriage skills may benefit them and help with their issues.

This article is about many different myths that couples possess in the beginning marriage. It also takes a look at how these myths come from old television shows like Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best. Some of the myths seem to go with the Dominance Model such as the belief that having a partner complete you is just a myth. The author seems to believe that couples only compliment each other, but they do not complete each other. Some of the other myths he talks about could be in either model.

This article suggests that housework is a big issue that can affects marital satisfaction among couples. The article also mentions statistics that show division of household duties is one of the number one conflicts in marriages. The article also suggests that women tend to do most of the housework and that when men participate; it is often just considered helping their wives. This suggests that the household duties are essentially the work of the woman therefore, when their husband’s participate, it is often considered a favor.

This website talks about women and men forgive people differently. This article claims perhaps women forgive more because it's in their natural maternal nature. For men, on the other hand, the article says that men aren't blessed to forgive as much as woman and that men who forgive quickly is rare.

This website basically repeats itself stating how one will feel better once they decide to forgive their partner. There will not be that emotional stress over their shoulders anymore, and they will feel much better about themselves and life as a whole, once they decide to forgive their partner. It will bring more to the relationship as soon as one can do this. Now, I am curious as to forgiveness in the Unity Model. I know that the woman needs to stand up for herself, do what makes her happy, and do not let the man get away with anything that hurts her. If the husband does something cruel and wrong towards the wife that she really feels hurtful towards, what does she do? Make a point to him that this may never happen again? I know the husband would make sure he did enough to make it up to her and would not let it go until he knew she felt better, but would the wife forgive him in this model? It seems she would HAVE to forgive him eventually, but how does she go about this process… making him see how much he hurt her to not allow him to do it again? I am just very curious how forgiveness works in this model compared to the other models.

This link discusses a few different marriage books, including “The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands”, the author’s (Sarah Smith) opinion of each book, and then she gave her definition of what “Frump Syndrome” is. The symptoms she included in this concept are not shaving legs and wearing jogging bottoms around the house, which is very similar to Dr. Laura’s definition. One line I read out of this article really found a way to upset me. These few lines said, “Complaining is out. No matter what he has done, you are most certainly not allowed to complain about it. Complaining attacks a man’s ego. Female nagging is, in fact, ‘gender abuse’.” She actually read this out of Dr. Laura’s book. Complaining attacks a man’s ego and nagging is gender abuse? What? I just don’t understand HOW women can believe this or go along with that for that matter. I just think that is so wrong that men con women into believing this. Obviously, women would not complain or nag in the first place if men would just try and please a woman or just do what they ask. One would think a man would realize that MAYBE if his wife or girlfriend is complaining or nagging so much, that there is a good reason for it, and they should probably listen to their girl. I don’t think women out there enjoy to complain just for the joy of complaining. I really disagree with those comments.

This is a short article that discusses a study that was done in order to determine who is more satisfied with a pregnant wife’s body in the relationship; the wife or the husband. And the results after the study concluded that the husband is actually more satisfied with his wife’s body than the wife is with her own body. I found this very interesting because I would not of thought this to be the case. Now, what I am curious about is whether the husband is only happy with his wife’s body while she is pregnant, not after she has had her child. In all of the articles that I have been reading on the internet, it seems as if husbands almost expect their spouses’ body to go back to exactly it was before she got pregnant, in a quick amount of time. That is very hard to do for a wife considering she is not only taking care of herself now but her child as well. Relating this problem to the Unity Model, I don’t think this would ever be a true problem in their marriage. Husbands will love their wives no matter how their appearance is. Mainly because they are trying to get to the affective level, conjoining in their minds, not their physical appearance.

I chose this site because it has the wedding, marriage, and family laws for couples wanting to get married. It is just stating what can and cannot be done and how to do it. I tried to chose something that just showed that a lot of people including our government only thinks in the here and now, and not about what a marriage is and can be afterlife.

- G25, Georgeo - Outline 2

I chose this one because it has various issues of how to manage family and the marriage as two separate units and then as a whole. It has sections on the emotional needs of a partner and what needs to be done and how to achieve that subject, whatever it may be. It has basic concepts of how to have a successful marriage and how to keep it that way, when family, work, and everyday life come into play.

I decided to add this site because I thought it was very outrageous. I’m using it as an opposing topic to what we are learning in class. It addresses eternity, however it refers it to the standard marriage promise of “till death do us part” as if it were the same thing. It also claims married couples should not have to make the promise for eternity, because who is to say what the future will hold. If a couple gains everything they are to gain from their partner before eternity, this site is claiming that it is okay to move on and find someone else. This completely goes against the Unity Model of marriage.

I chose this website because I thought it was nice, and it made me think about what makes me happy. Sometimes people just need to stop, relax and realize what makes them happy. “I define happiness…” is the topic and everyone has their idea of happiness.

I choose this site because it gave another people's perspectives to Coleman and his beliefs, mainly his book The Lazy Husband. It goes though his book and states what they believe is wrong with his book. The writers of this website believe that Coleman is continuing to "dump" on women. It is interesting to read and see others thoughts.

Women expect men to treat them equally when it comes to the job, home and finances. Yet in this article a woman firefighter talks about how women want the firefighting standards to be changed so that more women can become firefighters. This woman worked very hard to become a firefighter and explains that changing the standards is the same as saying women are not as good or as strong as men. Therefore, women are recreating this double standard on themselves. If women want equality they should be willing to accept equal standards for both men and women, not biased standards.

When I clicked on this link, it said the best way to have a discreet affair is to do it online. Then it leads you to an online dating website in which they claim a lot of others are looking for affairs as well. The site claims that “the key to a successful affair is keeping things as discreet as possible.” I chose this website because it illustrates AUV 4 (adultery). This site is encouraging you to have an affair and basically promising you it will be kept a secret since it online. Whether or not these people are actually meeting is not the issue, it is still an affair. You are mentally abusing and cheating on your partner. This is also disjunctive behavior because you are keeping secrets from your wife.

This site discusses the obvious differences in mating strategies of each gender. It compares two theories which both attempt to explain the various sex differences that men and women have. I chose this site because it briefly discusses the evolutionary perspective concerning why men are less choosy when picking a mate, while woman are very choosy. The author of this site, Jennifer S. Denisiuk asserts that this difference is due to evolutionary strategies of parental investment. She explains that woman automatically invest more in reproduction and offspring. Therefore, they have developed strategies of choosing mates that increase the likelihood of their offspring surviving. The evolutionary perspective that Denisiuk provides in this site is very similar to Joshua Coleman’s evolutionary perspective, that woman are limited by fertility, so they value behaviors in a man that will maximize the chance that their offspring will survive.
