Relationship Characteristics
Out of all the relationships I have had all of them pale in comparison to my wife and me. How we met is deemed by most people as weird but more intriguing is what basis our relationship started on. At first contact, I was very heart broken and I needed someone to talk to about it to. I met Christina on a social networking site and at this time people were very skeptical about internet relationships. What was supposed to stop at friendship ended up developing into a very loving relationship but not before its difficulties? Just like Robert Stemberg’s theory on love explains about the three dimensions of love which are passion, intimacy, and commitment. To what degree a relationship demonstrates these dimensions would illustrate the type of love relationship you have. In the beginning it was pretty clear that my soon to be wife and I were probably just very fascinated in one another but this soon turned into strong passion and intimacy in time. After several months of dating the word marriage came up for the first time and it scared me to death. My fight or flight response kicked in and I quickly ended the relationship because I had commitment issues. My commitment issues were probably brought on from an earlier age. I lost my mother to lung cancer and my father from a heart attack not long after graduating high school and losing the two people you love the most can easily make it hard to whole heartedly love again in fear of losing again. I believe this is what sparked me to leave so suddenly when marriage was mentioned. Finally six months later we got back together and was married on October 19 2012. In spite of everything endured we had all three dimensions of love and after two years nothing could bring us apart.
