The ABCs of Successful Romantic Relationship Development: Meeting, Dating, and Choosing an Eternal Companion
by Thomas B. Holman, Fank Poulsen, and others.
This Chapter is really good for those of you who are single and have the 'green light' to get married. This chapter has everything you need to know about developing a relationship, but what's more simple than starting with the ABCs?
George Levinger made it easy for us and gave us the main 5 steps in a heterosexual relationship. They are:
A - Awareness of or Acquaintance with another person;
B - Buildup of the relationship
C - Continuation following Commitment to a long-term relationship (which may result in marriage for many couples)
D - Deterioration or Decline in the interdependence of the couple;
E - Ending of the relationship.
The chapter is wonderful and goes on to talk about how to deal with a breakup, what you should do, and mainly just that it is going to happen sometime, so we might as well deal with it the best we can and get over it so that we can find peace with ourselves and get on with life to find the one who we will never break up with.
