Rewards and resources are the benefits exchange in social relationships. Rewards can be defined as the pleasures, satisfactions and gratifications that a person enjoys while participating in a relationship (Thibaut & Kelley, 1959). Resources, on the other hand, are any possessions, objects or emblematic, that…

cruelly ironic that judicial decisions in the United States denying the right to same-sex marriage cite the welfare of children, yet those very decisions harm the welfare of the estimated 1 million children currently being raised by gay and lesbian couples (Blechner PG).

Many of these couples are rejected and left heartbroken as they are told they can not adopt. The reason being they are unfit to adopt. A valid reasoning until deducing that they are deemed unfit because these couples are in same-sex relationships. Many through their own bias, do not want same-sex couples adopting.…

marital/relationship satisfaction declines over time simply because people stop trying. The couple gets used to the routine, they stop fighting for each other, and they lose interest. There are others factors that could contribute as well, such as fighting or lying. But most of those things can be resolved if they continue to fight for each other.

struggle, because Pakistani couples that one of them is a non-citizen are not allowed to live in Denmark right away. Many of these Pakistani couples have an arranged marriage often to someone they are already related to in some form, “Zagib…had married Sara, his paternal cousin, in Pakistan in 2004.” (PG.91) But if the spouse is not a Denmark citizen it makes the marriage difficult because the other non-citizen spouse may not become a citizen right away.
