Equity and Enhancing Intimacy
The topic that I found interesting in this week’s reading was that equity must be maintained in Family relationships and daily choices should be made in a way such that intimacy is increased between the family members. First of all the equity should be maintained in a way such that all the members should have equal treatment, benefits should be equal in family and nobody should have greater benefit than one another. Secondly, in order for intimacy to prevail in the family the choices made within the family should be considered in a way that nobody is hurt. For example, the partners that want to sustain the intimacy in their life and in relationship always think about dealing with conflicts. They tend to listen to each other and stay away from choices that can destroy their future life. In a family all members should stay in touch with each other’s concerns and dreams.

Hi Jaskirat,
ReplyDeleteI really agree with you about your thoughts about intimacy being a key factor in family life and equity. I feel that as family members share experiences they begin to grow closer to each other, however this buildup only continues if there is equity with the family structure. Obviously, someone is always going to have more power in the family structure, as someone has to make to tough decisions and choices that suit the needs of the family as opposed to just an individual. I think if there is a way to give equal treatment, people will really respond and grow closer. If families can learn to communicate, learn to share thoughts and concerns, and learn how to deal with conflict, the family unit would be stronger than ever and help people in many situations..
