Communication Is The Foundation Of Any Successful Relationship

Some may think Sexual infidelity is the leading cause for break ups in short term relationships. However, poor communication is the biggest factor that causes couples to break up. In Richard Ford’s “Under the radar” and Ernest Hemmingway’s “Hills like White Elephants” poor communication is the reason for the couples’ dilemma. In the Ford Story, Marjorie, the wife withholds information from Steven her husband about an affair. While in the Hemmingway Tale the couple cannot find a mutual solution to a pregnancy.

Justin attended the same school as his father, the Jesuit-run College Jean-de-Brebeuf. He decided to study literature at McGill University, receiving his bachelor's degree in 1994. He then pursued a degree in education at the University of British Columbia. Trudeau worked as a teacher for many years in the Vancouver area.

“Interpersonal relationships have traditionally been regarded as one of the major determinants of health and well-being” (Paat). But what constitutes a healthy relationship? In Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” a man and his wife on the surface have a rocky relationship that seems to be teetering on the husband’s impartiality to his wife and the wife’s resentment towards her husband’s impartiality. However, Brewer-Davis states that, “loving someone sometimes seems to appropriately override impartiality…”. The ties that this couple has established and the healthy communication of their moral standing is the key to their growth. Although the husband is considered sort of a ‘bad boy’ and the wife is characterized as a sweet, caring individual; it is this difference in personalities that brings them together as the husband receives emotional stimulation that he could not otherwise get by himself. Consequently, the wife receives a reality check from her husband’s partiality and rational demeanor. Paat

Infidelity is depicted as an extremely negative thing in the United States, and is often blamed for trust issues, psychologically damaging the spouse and their children, tearing apart marriages and families and more. People who commit adultery are often shamed and told how wrong what they did is and what a terrible person they are for doing it. According to the Journal of Martial and Family by the Associated Press, however, 41% of “marriages where one or both spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional.” Clearly, while infidelity is generally viewed negative by society, many people either decide that it is not as negative as it is portrayed, or do not care and do it anyway. “The Lady with the Pet Dog” and “The Storm” both go

Marriage requires effort and work. Many newlyweds come into a marriage thinking it is easy but do not consider the consequences of marriage that heavily rely on balances and partnership. Marriage is all about compromise. It is important to engage in a premarital program to allow both partners to learn what to expect within a marriage, how to face certain roadblocks, and to better communication when conflict is aroused so that divorce does not become an option. Gottman’s research (2009) has made a significant contribution to the study of relationship and marriage tying unity, harmony, and communication together to make relationship and marriage work. When a couple who does not have consummate love (intimacy, passion, and commitment), they often portray the six indicators of divorce: harsh startup, the Four Horsemen, flooding, body language, failed repair attempts and reflecting on bad memories (Gottman, 2009). Divorce often occurs within the first two years of marriages and almost half of divorces end within the first seven years (Bhutto-Ramirez, 2015).

This paper looks to achieve a better perspective of how infidelity is viewed through the lens of different cultures, and how it impacts these cultures, specifically looking at African-American, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-American cultures. The topic of cultural views on infidelity in general terms is understood as there being unfaithfulness between partners in a relationship, whether it be emotional, sexual, or a combination of both. It is for the most part a behavior frowned upon worldwide. There are many reasons why infidelity may occur within a relationship. Individuals that do not feel emotional support or feels apathetic run a greater risk for infidelity (Allen et al., 2005). Other risky attitudes include poor communication, which is made up of fewer positive and more negative interactions (Allen et al., 2008).

There were a lot of interesting things discussed in this chapter, but the section I found most interesting was the one about gender differences in same-sex friendships.

Anne and Ted have been married for 25 years, dated for 10 and have 3 kids together. On the outside it looks like have the picture-perfect marriage. One day he packed up his things and left their home and relationship of over 30 years with no explanation whatsoever. Couples will think the world of their spouse and build their lives around them only to be disregarded when it suits them. Spouses are left wondering what had happened that made their partners walked out on them after all they have been through and the sacrifices both may have made. This is the time they realized they do not know their partners as they thought they did and all the sacrifices made was not enough to keep them. This is exhibited in the story “The Storm by Kate Chopin where a couple seems to have a perfect marriage, but the wife then she cheats on her husband with her ex-lover. Then they returned to their normal lives not telling neither of their partner about the adultery they committed. In Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants a couple is having a heated argument about the woman going for an abortion and how that would ease the tension in their relationship that the pregnancy had brought. Calixta’s cheating in “The Storm” sheds light on Hemingway's “Hills Like White Elephants” helping me understand people’s willingness to take risks to sustain relationships, how difficult humans are to please and how unknowingly people live in lies.
