How do past relationships change peoples views on love?
Keith G. Schrag. Relationship
Therapy with Same-Gender Couples
Family Relations, Vol. 33, No. 2 (Apr., 1984), pp. 283-291.
In
this article it talks about how homosexual relationships and the affects it has
on them in the future with future relationships and in life in general. I think
it’s a perfect article to use for a source because I think it’s important to
compare all types of relationships. The article concludes that a lot of
therapists use to not have therapy for same sex couples, and explains how now
therapists are more open too that and it explains how the relationships have
changed from when they couldn’t talk to a therapist to now when they can.

Gay Men's and Women's Perceptions of
Early Family Life and Their Relationships with Parents. Family
Relations, Vol. 31, No. 1 (Jan., 1982), pp. 79-83.
As
you read this article it talks about how three fourths of homosexuals parents
accept their homosexuality and shows how when they do accept how that affects
their relationship and when they don’t how that affects their relationship with
their significant other. I could use this because it shows how family can
affect a relationship
Jan E. Stets. Modelling Control
in Relationships. Journal of Marriage and
Family , Vol. 57, No. 2 (May, 1995),
pp. 489-501.
The article talks about how one-partner controls the other. Not only
does that change a persons view on love but also on that relationship. Its
conclusion is how a lot of the time the person who is being controlled doesn’t
realize that and think its normal until they get out of the relationship. I
think its really important to use some main ideas of a reason why peoples view
on love changes good or bad and I think modeling control is a big factor.
Miriam R. Hill and Philip M. Mamalakis. Family Therapists and Religious Communities: Negotiating Dual
Relationships. Family Relations, Vol. 50, No. 3 (Jul., 2001), pp.
199-208.
When reading this article it explains how when trying to find a
relationship a big factor in that is religion. It explains how that either
holds you back from starting a relationship or changes your view on love.
Sometimes when meeting somebody and falling in love with them you are willing
to change or compromise on relationship, but sometimes no matter how much the
love that person they will leave. I think this is another big factor on how it
changes their view on love if they change their relationship or even if they
don’t.
J. Mark Halstead. Teaching about
Love British Journal of Educational Studies, Vol. 53, No. 3,
Values, Ethics and Character in Education (Sep., 2005), pp. 290-305.
This article talks about
children’s ways of thinking about love. It talks about why and how different
children think about love. I think it’s a really good article to use because
it’s when it starts 9-10 when children start to think about love. All my
articles so far are on young adults or adults so I think its good to add a
little bit about when it all started.
Jerold Heiss. Gender and Romantic-Love Roles.The Sociological
Quarterly Vol. 32, No. 4 (Winter, 1991), pp. 575-591 (article consists of
17 pages)
Nice work, Meggie, and a fascinating question. Maybe, in your future research, you could explore how media perceptions of relationships (on shows like The Bachelor, or in sitcoms) could affect views on love.
ReplyDeleteYou should also look into ideas about family and our social expectations about love in general. What are people looking for? Why are these ideals being upheld?
