Relationships are defined as the way or behavior that two people feel and act towards one another. They can be between friends or family and will change throughout adulthood. As a young adult, many people are surrounded by a high quantity of friendships, work on networking professionally and/or may be looking for a significant other to settle down with. In middle age, people begin having children, and the relationships they maintain will to be centered around the lives of their children. At this stage, some middle-age adults will start to become caregivers for their own parents. Older adulthood is characterized by a loss of relationships. There are fewer friendships, but the ones that remain are of a higher quality.
