Margaret And Dana Relationship Analysis

John and Mary were high school sweethearts and best friends. They married at a young age, never had issues communicating with one another, and they have always been a very loving couple towards each other and their children. John is a man’s man and is remised when it comes to speak about emotions and feelings. Mary is very passive and was raised to believe that the man is in charge of the household. Dean has the same ideology as his father about expressing feelings and emotions and Sam is passive like his mother but also subscribes to his father’s machismo ideals. Prior to his last deployment the family was a close-knit group and John was very active in his sons’ lives. They attended Dean’s baseball games, Sam’s Math-lete competitions, and he often took his sons on hunting and fishing trips.

Some aspects of Abigail Nguyen's design reference back to several great landscapes of history, such as Ancient Persia's Pasargadae or the Roman peristyle gardens. However, Ms. Nguyen does not just haphazardly imitate any forms and concepts that characterize these great landscapes. Instead, she thoughtfully considers how to properly translate them into a contemporary garden and therefore, chooses features that are appropriate to contemporary life. This demonstrates that Abigail Nguyen is not only a good designer, but well educated in her landscaping field.

In Anne Tyler’s Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, one of the traits we see is the recurring idea of a dysfunctional marriage. This very idea is continually presented throughout the book, showing how multiple characters are affected by the same situation and how that circumstance changes their view on the world. We see this dysfunctional marriage appear in the beginning with Pearl Tull, contrary to popular culture at the time of the novel, left by her husband to raise 3 young children (Cody, Ezra, and Jenny) on her own as a single mother. The fact that their father, Beck Tull, deserts his family at such a young age of the children causes many issues throughout the relationships of the family members and those who become involved in their lives. As the children grow, we watch them evolve and make decisions, decisions that seem to be the exact opposite of what Tyler presented of their wants independent of each other. We see this most prevalent in Cody, where he is as absent from Luke’s life, as his father was in his. As we continue to unfold this book we find how the effects of a broken marriage take a toll on the relationships within a family. For young children, this can be devastating to the relationships they will have when

Each family unit in the extended family applies a respective parenting strategy based on the philosophies and characters of the parents. The family of Gil and Karen is given more emphasis throughout the movie. The realization of the emotional problems that are experienced by Kevin, and the plan of the teachers to move Kevin to a special classroom necessitates a new parenting strategy. Gil responds using an authoritative parenting strategy. With the help of Karen, the parents find ways of getting Kevin to normal shape.

However, like in most marriage there were times when either party could slip in a comfort zone which can be displeased. The first conflict identified with Judith and her husband was when Judith started feeling her marriage was growing stale. This conflict latent stage was when Brice started working long hours, not spending quality time and not giving Judith the attention she accustoms to. At the latent stage in conflict, people have differences that bother one or the other in ideas, values or need (Brookings, n.d). The conflict emerged when Harley started making advances at Judith which she tried to resist frequently for a long time despite her husband

Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. Although it is not as easily defined as some may make it. Every situation and the lessons we learn from those times, help to form what we believe love to be. For some it may be a physical attachment that others degrade to lust. For some it may be their reason for continuing on in life; but overall for most, love is what drives our lives.

Although there is slight variations, when most imagine the life of a married couple pure happiness is what is expected. As wonderful as that expectation may be, not every marriage fits into this ideal. The criteria of marriage used to be based off of what your partner can offer you. However as times have changed and gender roles have begun to disappear, marriage has now
