Personal

Relationships
2. Personal relationships
 relationships between people, especially those

between friends, lovers and family.


 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.
In our model there are
three kinds of personal
relationships:
Family
 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."
But many people have family they don't
live with or to whom they are not
bonded by love, and the roles of family
vary across cultures as well as
throughout your own lifetime.
*Friends
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. Friends are able to
turn to each other in times of need.
*Partnerships
 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.
3. Love
- strong affection for another arising out

of kinship or personalities.
- attraction based on sexual desire:

affection and tenderness felt by lovers


- affection based on admiration,

benevolence, or common interests.


4. Commitment
- the act of binding yourself
(intellectually or
emotionally) to a course
of action
5. Attraction
- attractive quality; magnetic charm;

fascination; allurement; enticement


- a person or thing that draws,

attracts, allures, or entices


6. Responsibility
- a form of trustworthiness; the
trait of being answerable to
someone for something or
being responsible for one’s
conduct.
WHY PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIPS
ARE IMPORTANT
 Healthy relationships are a vital component of
health and well-being. There is compelling
evidence that strong relationships contribute to
a long, healthy, and happy life. Conversely, the
health risks from being alone or isolated in one's
life are comparable to the risks associated with
cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and obesity.
Research shows
that healthy
relationships can
help you
• Live longer.
 A review of 148 studies found that people

with strong social relationships are 50%


less likely to die prematurely.
• Deal with stress.
 The support offered by a caring friend can

provide a buffer against the effects of


stress.
• Be healthier.
 According to research by psychologist Sheldon

Cohen, college students who reported having strong


relationships were half as likely to catch a common
cold when exposed to the virus.
• Feel richer.
 A survey by the National Bureau of Economic

Research of 5,000 people found that doubling your


group of friends has the same effect on your wellbeing
as a 50% increase in income!
On the other hand, low
social support is linked
to a number of health
consequences, such as:
• Depression.
 Loneliness has long been commonly

associated with depression, and now


research is backing this correlation up: a
2012 study of breast cancer patients found
that those with fewer satisfying social
connections experienced higher levels of
depression, pain, and fatigue.
• Decreased immune function.
The authors of the same study also

found a correlation between loneliness


and immune system dysregulation,
meaning that a lack of social
connections can increase your
chances of becoming sick.
• Higher blood pressure.
 University of Chicago researchers who

studied a group of 229 adults over five


years found that loneliness could predict
higher blood pressure even years later,
indicating that the effects of isolation have
long-lasting consequences.
10 WAYS TO
EXPRESS
LOVE
 Here are 10 ways to express love to your
special someone, your friends, family,
children. By expressing love, we bring
ourselves joy knowing that love is not just a
Valentine's Day moment, but an ongoing,
free-flowing experience that enriches our
lives.
1. Express gratitude. Tell someone
how much you appreciate their
presence in your life.
2. Send flowers. Do it for no reason

other than to say “Thank you for being


you.
 3. Set aside time. Give the gift of listening.
Make a date if you must, in your own home or at
a quiet little neighborhood place, for coffee or a
drink and just listen to each other’s thoughts.
 4. Keep anger at bay. During stressful times

think of this image. If an ember flies from a


fireplace onto your rug, it will burn a hole. Flick it
off immediately and the rug is safe.
5. Be thoughtfully generous with
gifts. Remember what is special about
a person in your life and buy gifts that
are unique to them.
6. Order fortune cookies. Find ones

with love sayings. You might also


intersperse with gratitude sayings.
 7. Offer an act of kindness. Say to your
love or someone you care about, “What
can I do for you today that will make your
life easier and less stressful?” Then do it.
 8. Write a note. Here’s a simple start: “I

am so grateful that you are in my life. I love


you for a million reasons. Here are the top
three.”
9. Make time. Arrange to be together
for events that bring you both pleasure.
10.Be forgiving. We all have quirks.

When one surfaces that makes you


want to scream, either gently say
something or switch to the positive-
quality channel.
