What This Module is About
This is a very interesting module since the topic is about your PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP. The concept of relationship is very broad, complex and varies from
person to person. This module will provide information in understanding the concept
in meaningful and easier way. This aims to introduce the different types of
relationships depending on the nature of interaction.
Researchers have found that relationships are important to a person’s
happiness. The absence of close relationships can produce a deep negative effect
such as feeling worthless, powerless, and alienated. We can say that every
relationship has specific objectives or purpose that a person wishes to pursue, either
because of need, want, or desire. The very first meaningful relationship every person
encounters is with one’s mother. The mother-child relationship is already established
even before birth because of connection. The other connections a person
encounters will be tackled in this module.
This module contains varied activities that can help you build, become
responsible and maintain good relationship to your family, friends and significant
other by identifying the appropriate way of expressing your attraction, love and
commitment to them.

Lesson
1 PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
What I Need to Know
Pre-historic humans were interacting already through different forms of

behaviour such as smiling, greeting each other, showing love, affection and loyalty,
or hunting food together. These were all necessary for their survival especially in the
group that you were belonged. The primary reason for the human beings to be
belonged is survival.
Today, belongingness still exists since it has many benefits such as having
support system when you need someone to share your sadness, happiness and
other concerns especially for the teenagers. In adolescence stage, teenagers begin
to form a sense of identity that involves shaping values and setting future goals.
They develop social skills and interact with the people around them. The nurtured
relationships with other people help us to survive. Hence, we need to understand the
relationships formed by the teenagers among the people around them.

Activity 1: The People around Me

Draw a rectangle on blank sheet of paper. Connect three more rectangles as shown
below. Lists down the people you have close connections with and who considered
family, friends, or partner. You may draw or put pictures of them if you want.
FAMILY
PARTNER YOU FRIENDS

(if there’ any)
2
What’s is it
As you have listed all the people in your life right now that you have close
connection, so let us know what this close connection that you have with them is.
Personal Relationship refers to the association and close connections

between people, formed by emotional bonds and interactions. These bonds often
grow from and are formed by mutual experiences. Teenagers commonly have
relationships with their family, friends and significant other. The changes in a teen’s
physical and cognitive development come with big changes in their relationship with
family and friends. In adolescence stage, a new understanding of one’s self occurs.
This may include independence, identity and self-esteem.
Family Relationships
Family is defined as “two or more persons who are related by birth, marriage,
or adoption, and who live together as one household.” It includes siblings and
parents who may with you as you grow up, and relatives such as grandparents,
aunts, uncles, and cousins who you may not see frequently.
Family bond plays a vital role in person’s well-being since it may form other
kinds of relationships such as friendships and romantic relationships. Having strong
family relationships is ideal although it doesn’t happen always. There should be
love and closeness. Parents and older relatives role is to guide discipline and
support you when needed. Arguments, disagreements, moments of anger and hurt
are normal in a family since you spend so much time together, and these are short-
lived for families still love and care about each other. There is an increase of
arguments and conflicts with parents when teenagers assert their independence and
find their identity as adult. These shall pass after teenage years.
In some families, there is little physical contact whereas in others, it is
common for family members to express affection by means such as hugging, kissing
on the cheek or forehead, patting the head or tousling the hair, patting on the back
etc. It is common for babies and younger children to be carried or held.
Friendships
Friends are the people who we are not related to but who we choose to
interact with. They are the people who we trust, respect, care about and feel that we
can confide in and want to spend time with. A friendship is a reciprocal relationship.
Both people must see each other as a friend for it to exist.
There are different degrees of friendship. You may find that you feel closer to
some friends than others. This is perfectly normal. Some friends, especially if they
have only been known for a short time or are not seen very often, may not be
appropriate to confide in about personal issues or concerns. You may find that you
feel more comfortable and able to confide in friends whom you have known for
longer or spend more time with.
Furthermore, friends who are very close and know each other well are
referred to as “best friends or close friends”. Some people have many friends, while
3
others may only have one or two. There is no right or wrong number of friends to
have and everyone is different. Good friendships are mutually respectful, supportive
and share common interests and ideas. It should be built on honesty, support and
loyalty.
Some friendships can be close while some friends choose to greet each other
by hugging or kissing on the cheek, other friendships may have no physical contact,
or may simply shake hands. Romantic contact or Being intimate physically is not
appropriate in a friendship.
Romantic Relationships
A romantic relationship is when you feel very strongly attracted to the other
person, both to their personality and, often, also physically and should be
reciprocated by the other person in the relationship. A romantic relationship exists
between a boyfriend and girlfriend (in a heterosexual relationship) or a boyfriend and
boyfriend or girlfriend and girlfriend (in a homosexual relationship) or spouses (in a
marriage) or life partners (in a civil partnership or long-term unmarried relationship).
People in a romantic relationship often see each other and when apart will find ways
to contact each other by phone and the like. A romantic relationship is the closest
form of relationship in which, the two people who are involved will often describe
themselves as being attracted to each other and/or “in love”. They feel a strong
connection and bond to each other that they do not feel with anyone else, even close
friends. The bond is also exclusive and monogamous.
Arguments and disagreements occur in romantic relationships sometimes.
These arguments can be overcome through effective communication, understanding
and compromise. In other cases, if there are frequent arguments, the two people
involved my decide to end the relationship. Relationships can be of varying duration.
Some relationships quickly become apparent that the two people involved are not
compatible and do not want to spend their lives together, and so the relationship may
end after only a few months. In other cases, both may be together for many years or
may stay together for the rest of their lives.
Successful romantic relationships are built on love, trust, respect, support,
acceptance, shared interests and a desire for the two people involved to share their
lives together and end with marriage. For teenagers, various kinds of physical
contact are not appropriate. These include prolonged cuddling and holding, kissing
on the lips and sexual intercourse. Pre- marital sex is unacceptable.

Lesson
ATTRACTION, LOVE
2 AND COMMITMENT
What I Need to Know
Every human being has his own way of expressing his attraction, love, and
commitment due to our different life experiences. When attraction between two
persons is discussed, it is often understood as based on physical appearance while
this might be true to a certain extent but there is more to attraction that we already
know.
According to Helen Fisher, attraction is primarily on physiology or certain
hormones that get attracted to others and is the first stage during the changes of
personality development which leads to closeness, love and commitment. But,
disappointments in relationships occur usually because of the misunderstanding
about the different ways of expressing their attraction, love and commitment. Thus,
let us explore how we can express our attraction, love and commitment to others.

What’s is it
In the biological model of love as proposed by anthropologist Helen Fisher,

love can start with any of these three feelings: lust, attraction and attachment
depending on the person. Each involves different neurochemicals in your brain.
Three Brain Systems of Love or Stages of Falling in Love
1. Lust refers to an urge or desire that motivates us to partake in sexual activity.

2. Attraction is described as the love-struck phase. This is the stage when a person
loses sleep and appetite over someone and become excited to someone while
daydreaming of special person. It is part of lust because it involves focusing our
attention to a particular person or desire. Many factors influence attraction.
Factors of Attraction
a. Physical Attractiveness
It is one of the primary determinants of romantic attraction. Most people prefer
whom they consider physically attractive especially in the early stages of
dating.
b. Proximity
People tend to get attracted to people who are geographically closer to them.
They are more likely to develop feelings of mutual familiarity with the people
who live close to us or go to school with us and increased level of comfort
when there is regular contact and no prior negative feelings.
c. Similarity
People pick partners who we have similarities with such as social class,
background, religious beliefs, age and education. The more attitudes and
opinions two people share, especially when they are similar, the more they
will want to do the same activities, and would create a strong bond between
them.
d. Reciprocity
People like others who like them back. People feel indebted when someone
does something good for them and tend to reciprocate the action. The more
we are liked by someone they equally like, the more we behave in ways that
promote mutual feelings of liking.
3. Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to
another across time and space. It is when long-lasting commitments are
exchanged.
8
Robert Strenberg (1988) suggests that there are three main components of
love. Love relationships vary and it depends on the presence or absence of each of
these components.
Three Components of Triangular Theory of Love

1. INTIMACY is an intimate interpersonal relationship that involves physical or
emotional intimacy. It is characterized by friendship, familiarity, or romantic love.
It involves closeness, connectedness, and bondedness.
2. PASSION is an intense emotion, a compelling enthusiasm or desire for
something.
3. COMMITMENT is the attitude of someone who works very hard to do or support
something. It is an act deciding to consistently fulfil and live by agreements
made with another person, entity, or cause, and where the values of integrity
and respect serve as a guide to one’s behaviour and thinking. The easy ways to
express your commitment to your relationships is to show love and loyalty,
respect and appreciate others, convey honesty and trust, work as a team and
compromise, and disagree agreeably.
The combination of the three (3) components can produce eight (8) types of love.
Types of Love Intimacy Passion Commitment Example
Nonlove No No No
Liking Yes No No Friendships
Infatuation No Yes No Experiencing love at first
sight or being obsessed
with a person
Empty Love No No Yes Stagnant Relationships or
Arrange marriage
Fatuous No Yes Yes Relationships motivated

Companionate Yes No Yes Relationships lacking
passion such as those

Romantic Yes Yes No Being bonded

person
Consummate Yes Yes Yes Complete love

Love occurs not solely between romantic partners only. Humans can experience
different types of love in various relationships, such as with romantic partners,
friends, family and even strangers. Ancient Greeks studied love and denote each
type by giving each one a Greek name. Lee (1973) offers a theory love styles which
are derived from an analysis of writings about love through centuries.
1. PHILIA – Affectionate Love

It is a love that runs deep in true friendship. Love without romantic attraction and
occurs between friends or family members. It is called brotherly love when both
people share the same values and respect each other.
Ways to show this love:

 Engage in deep conversation with a friend.
 Exchange beliefs and imperfections with close friends.
 Be open and trustworthy
 Be supportive in difficult times.
2. PRAGMA – Enduring Love

It is a mature love that develops over time. Commitment and efforts are needed
to reach “Pragma”. Instead of “falling in love”, you are “standing in love” with the
partner by your side.

 Continue to strengthen the bond of long-term relationships
 Seek and show effort with your partner.
 Choose to work with your partner forever.
3. STORGE – Familiar love

It is naturally occurring love rooted in parents and children, as well as best
friends. It’s an infinite love built upon acceptance and deep emotional connection.

10

appropriate for you yet.
5. LUDUS –Playful love

found in the beginning. This type of love consists of teasing, playful motives and
laughter between two people.

 Spend time together to laugh and have fun
 Exemplify childlike behaviour together.
6. MANIA –Obsessive Love

Obsessiveness or madness over a love partner is mania. It leads to unwanted
jealousy or possessiveness.
Ways to avoid this love:

 Recognize obsessive or possessive behaviour before acting upon it.
 Focus on yourself more than another person.
 Put trust into your relationships
7. PHILAUTIA –Self Love

It is having a healthy “self-compassion” love towards one’s self.
It is when you recognize your self-worth and don’t ignore your personal needs.
Self-love begins with acknowledging your responsibility for your well-being.

 Respect, accept ad appreciate yourself.

ACTIVITY 7. Love Language In The Family

This activity aims to help you realize your love language or the way you would
usually prefer to receive from and give love to your parents, friends and significant
other. You can take the “Love Language Personal Profile” based on Dr. Gary
Cahpman’s The 5 Love Languages using this link https://bit.ly/3cpjE1H.
If you don’t have internet access, you can actually assess yourself, your family,
friends, and significant others of your love languages.
1. Words of Affirmation
“Actions don’t always speak louder than word”. Unsolicited compliments mean the
world to you. Wanting to hear “I love you” or other positive compliments you’re your
partner. And if you don’t hear it, then you might feel unloved. Insults can leave you
shattered and are not easily forgotten. You wanted to hear kind and encouraging
words that build you up.
2. Acts of Service
Doing nice things for other people and anything you do to ease the burden of the
other person are “acts of service.” Whether it’s changing someone’s oil, cleaning the
house, or giving a back rub, doing things to help make the other person happy is
12
what this one is about. Helping with homework can be an expression of love to you.
The words you wanted to hear is “Let me do it for you”.
3. Receiving Gifts
You value giving and receiving gifts and some do not. So, if you measure your
partner’s love by how many gifts you are given, then your love language is “receiving
gifts.” Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of the gifts
wanted on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. A missed birthday or a
thoughtless gift would be disastrous.
4. Quality Time
You measure the quality of love by how much time the other people want to spend
with you. If you don’t get enough “together time,” then you might feel unloved. Being
there for this type of person is critical, but really being there – with the TV off, fork
and knife down, and all chores and tasks standby makes you feel truly special and
loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be hurtful.
5. Physical Touch
A person whose primary language is physical touch is not very touchy. Hugs, pats on
the back, holding hand and thoughtful touches on the arm can show excitement,
concern, care and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect
or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Appropriate and timely touches
communicate warmth, safety and love to you.
What’s I Can Do?

Upon knowing the results, reflect and write in your journal the following:
1. Using the answer in activity 1, write your love language and the love
languages of your listed family members such as parents and siblings, friends
and significant other.
2. How you can further express your love to them?
3. List down the things on how you wanted to be loved and how you can share
your love to them.
