Chapter 10 Blog #2
For my second concept, I decided to do it on relational maintenance because I feel that in every relationship that a person is in, needs to know how to maintain a great and healthy relationship. In the book there are four definitions that the author provided, but I'm only going to give this one: "to keep a relationship in a specified state or condition-for example, to keep the relationship from becoming more (or less) intimate." I feel that in order to have a successful relationship, there has to be excitement, magic, intimacy, romance, etc....People get bored easily throughout relationships, so keeping the romance alive and well, will increase the intensity and love of the relationship. If there is no repair, no romance, no excitement, the relationship will get old to a certain individual in the relationship. That person might end the relationship because there is no communication between them, or because they fight a lot and can't figure out how to get along or meet half way, it could be because they have no romance or love life, and/ore even because things have been the same for a while and that person is bored.So sustain the relationship, and keep your relationships intimate and special.

Dear Goofy, thanks for your response. I really enjoyed reading your blog about relational escalation. I completely agree with everything that you said. Magic, excitement, and passion are absolutely nesessary for a good and healthy relationship. Too many times people brush those things off and say that they are trivial or shallow. Or that a relationship doesn't have to give you the butterflies in order work in the future. That excitement is what makes people fall in love and really stay together. If you neglect the relationship, and just let it go completely then one person will eventually want to look for that feeling again.
hello,
This theory that you explained is a common problem with long term relationship, for example my ex girlfriend had this bad. we were together for 5 yrs and after three i was getting the feeling that she was to comfortable because she was becoming real lazy which negatively communications because i am real active and she is not so we kinda naturally split up and i believe that was the due to our relationship getting boring and old news
