An approach to the human couple's study from a developmental perspective

Abstract

The systematization that is presented responds to the need to strengthen couple relationships in young generations, given the existence of multiple factors that influence the formation and development of this interpersonal bond. The objective pursued was to assess the elements that promote a developmental loving bond, from an integrating systemic approach. In this sense, it was concluded that the processes that affect a bond of this nature are: the construction of an affective-sexual intimacy; the use of open, clear an appropriate communication; the explicit expectations; the negotiation of conflicts in a collaborative way; the flexible and equitable exercise of roles; and respect for limits. Among them, communication was considered as the axis that runs through the rest of the processes, and affective-sexual intimacy as the basic condition of the very existence of the love relationship.
