Health Session:
What is Friendship?
Friendship is a relationship of mutual
affection between people. It is a stronger
form of interpersonal bond than an
"acquaintance" or an "association", such
as a classmate, neighbor, coworker, or
colleague.
Health Session:
Friendship across the life span

Friendships play an important role in

healthy human development and
adjustment across the life span.
Friendships exist in practically every
stage of development, although the form
they take varies considerably with age.
Health Session:
What is Romantic Relationship?
A romantic relationship is defined as mutual, ongoing
and voluntary interactions between two partners that is
characterized by specific expressions of affection and
intimacy (Collins, et al., 2009).

This definition reflects contemporary ideas about

romantic relationships. For example, marital status
and partner gender is ambiguous. Instead this
definition focuses on interactions and expressions.
Health Session:
What is Sexual Relationship?
A sexual relationship, also known as an intimate
relationship, is characterised by physical or
emotional intimacy between two individuals.

While intimacy is commonly linked with sexual

relationships, it can be of different kinds and manifest
itself in relationships which have no sexual attraction,
i.e., friends and family. We'll focus on intimate
relationships with sexual attraction.
