Exam 8: Marriage: The Ultimate Commitment
Discuss Wallerstein and Blakeslee's four types of good marriages, along with each type's built-in antimarriage.
The student should indicate that these marriages include the romantic marriage, which is filled with passion for the partner. The antimarriage is that partners are so preoccupied with each other that they neglect their children and the rest of the world. The second type is the rescue marriage, which seeks to heal and provide comfort to each other. The antimarriage is that the relationship always allows the possibility for renewed strife based on earlier abuses. The next type is the companionate marriage, in which couples base their marriages on equality and friendship. The antimarriage is that partners may begin to spend less time with each other, and their relationship might become more like that of a brother and sister.
