Through out life, we cross paths with thousands of people and many of these paths lead to different types of relationships. Some may be undeveloped, inspiring, intimate, or some relationships may not even last. Therefore, the relationships we have always have society thinking, what is a close relationship? And, what is it that makes our associations close and strong? Interpersonal relationships are formed in the context of social, cultural and other influences.

From the relationships that are growing in today’s generation with social media, location, and even early development, these universal traits are changing, and each relationship will always have its differences and each will have its strengths in creating close relationships. Through my personal experiences, I have been able to experience different relationships with a lot of people.

Marriage is a personal accomplishment for me. Having a wife then to create a family with her and providing for them, is a rite a passage for most African American males. Most African Americans get married but chances of the marriage lasting are slim. My parents were together for 15 years before they divorced but before the split I was able to witness the idea of a family. I thought marriage was the same everywhere until I traveled to different regions of the world. I always knew that marriage was between a man and a woman. I also knew that all cultures had similar rules of engagement when it came to marriage practices. I was sadly mistaken with what I thought of this world when the topic of marriage was expressed.…
