Ch 6 Due Monday 11/10/2009....L3s Below:
1) Where did your values and beliefs around marriage in the 21st century originate?
2) How does the Dance of Intimacy relate to those in your life, or your life relationships?
3) Do you know anyone who has been married for fifty (or more) years? What do you think is necessary in order to have a relationship like that?
Next week is the beginning of Chapter 7 on Human Sexuality...
We will first look at some of the aspects of the chapter and then have a couple of class discussions and activities dealing with more specifically with education, etc.
Have a great weekend...and don't forget that Monday night is Parent Teacher Conferences from 5:00 - 8:00...ews
PS - Please respond to the following sometime prior to Monday:

i think this means not to try and make them be right for you, but to learn to compromise and be the right for each other. it takes 2 to have a healthy relationship.
In question 2 you spelled your sons name instead of dance. Haha. Just thought I would let you know.
completely have to agree with kristine on this one.
I agree with Kristine also. You cant change a peson but you can learn to love their flaws.
Forcing a person to change will not give them any more of a reason to change.
dang thats right... we do have PTC's tomorrow... that sucks:(
I think they ^^^ have the interpretation right. I don't fully agree with the quote though. Yes, you have to make compromises, but don't turn your entire marriage into a compromise. It will steal your happiness.
It may be both. A good marriage requires two "right people" to function well, rather than just one functional side. One partner cannot depend on the other for everything, but they should both depend on each other for some things in a balanced manner, or there is no level of intimacy.
I would say this quote means that in a marriage you try to find that special person who is the half that makes you whole. It isn't so much as finding the right person, but learning to love their flaws.
You have to find the right person to help create a "good marriage". If you don't find that person, you can't create that person. You can find someone who is compatible with you, and then you and that person can grow together. Growing with someone so that you and that other person can work together in a marriage, is something that is required to do to create a "good marriage". You have to be the "right person" to create that kind of marriage with another person. You have to be able to work with them, and that takes the "right person".
