Brief Introduction

The concept of relationship is very broad and complex. It refers to close

connections between people, formed by emotional bonds and interactions. These bonds

often grow from and are strengthened by mutual experience.

Relationships are not static; they are continually evolving, and to fully enjoy and

benefit from them we need skills, information, inspiration, practice, and social support.

4
 There are three kinds of personal relationships: family, friends, and partnership.

The concept of family "is an essential component

in any discussion of relationships, but this varies

greatly from person to person. The Bureau of the

Census defines family as "two or more persons

who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption and who live together as one

household." A friendship can be thought of as a close tie between two people that is

often built upon mutual experiences, shared interests, proximity, and emotional

bonding. Romantic Partnerships, including marriage, are close relationships formed

between two people that are built upon affection, trust, intimacy, and romantic love. We

usually experience this kind of relationship with only one person at a time.
