Relationship Dynamics

Musgrave and Anniss begin their discussion by broadening the relationship focus from the traditionally defined, mechanistic roles between customer, employee, and organization to encompass the elements of structure, emotion, organization, and control - a shift that enables the reader to visualize both the dynamic nature of these interactions and their intangible aspects. The authors continue the process of strategic analysis by scoping, aligning, and profiling the relationship. These techniques allow the individual to define the interaction environment, bring together its perspectives, and isolate issues of contention or conflict.

As the first book in the revolutionary EVOLVE series, Relationship Dynamics looks at how we create and sustain healthy relationships using essential principles from permaculture, including observation, resilience, and sustainability. In Relationship Dynamics, you will learn how to develop deeper intimacy in all relationships, how to sustain relationships by following the six steps to conflict resolution, as well as how to identify and avoid emotional drama and dysfunction with others.

Human beings are intricate and complex to relate with. The good news is that every person you relate with in life has a prototype in the Bible. Truly, there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). In this book, the author has done an analysis of biblical characters using their strengths and weaknesses to advise the reader on how to direct his or her affairs in today's world. The book Relationship Dynamics is a precise, biblically relevant and practical tool for families, friends and individuals. It is a book that has clearly and methodically brought an awareness to the most neglected and overlooked areas of our lives. This work is intended as an illustration of the origin, character and progressive lifestyle of some human beings in the past. It is also a guide to everyone today living their daily lives as ordained by God.

Why do some marriages grow stronger in the face of conflict or stress while others dissolve? In this book, two pioneering researchers present a groundbreaking theory of how mutually responsive behaviors emerge—or fail to emerge—in relationships. Illustrating their findings through the vivid stories of four diverse couples, the authors explore how conscious considerations interact with unconscious impulses to foster trust and commitment. Compelling topics include why marriages have such different personalities and what makes partners truly compatible. Also discussed are implications of the model for helping couples sustain satisfying relationships and improve troubled ones.

It may sound logical that individualistic attitudes boost divorce. This book argues otherwise. Conservative norms of specialized gender roles serve as the root cause of marital dissolution. Those expectations that prescribe what men should do and what women should do help break down marital relationships. Data from South Korea suggest that lingering norms of gendered roles can threaten married persons’ self-identity and hence their marriages during the period of rapid structural changes. The existing literature predicting divorce does not conceptually distinguish between the process of relationship breakdown and the act of ending a marriage, implicitly but heavily focusing on the latter while obscuring the former. In contemporary societies, however, the social and economic cost of divorce is sufficiently low—that is, stigma against divorce is minimal and economic survival after divorce is a nonissue—and leaving a marriage is no longer dictated by one’s being liberal or conservative or any particular characteristics. Thus, the right question to ask is not who leaves a marriage but why a marriage goes sour to begin with. In Korea, a majority of divorces occur through mutual consent of the two spouses without any court procedure, but when one spouse files for divorce, the fault-based divorce litigation rules require the court to lay out the entire chronicle of relevant events occurring up to the legal action, often with the help of court investigators. As such, court rulings provide glimpses into the entire marital dynamics, including verbatim exchanges between the spouses. Lee argues that the typical process of relationship breakdown is related to married persons’ daily practices of verifying their gendered role identity.
