2. Couple’s Background
Matthew and Alicia were classmates since their poly year started, in April 2016. However, it wasn’t only until their school trip to Malaysia in June that they got to know each other better. Matthew started chasing her when he found out he had feelings for her. They started dating 4 months after talking to one another, in July 2016.

3. Mature vs Immature Love
When asked what do they find attractive about their partner, Matthew described her as cheerful around her peers which acts as a positive vibe to him, and Alicia said that he is caring and thoughtful. This shows that both of them have a mature understanding …show more content…
He says that he wants her to understand that he trusts her fully. She shouldn’t stop communicating just because she’s dating him. Alicia’s reply was that she gets jealous easily. However, she does not get jealous if it was a group meeting of mixed genders instead. This shows that Alicia has an immature understanding of their relationship, but Matthew has a matured understanding of the relationship. Based on research by Susan Krauss “When jealousy is fueled by insecurity and turns into possessiveness, a relationship may take an unwanted turn.” (Susan Heitler, …show more content…
When asked to define commitment, Matthew states it is to prioritise the other party, while Alicia defined it as staying loyal and faithful with no slightest feeling for anyone else. When asked to define passion, Matthew says that it is to sacrifice for the other party while Alicia state that it is to keep the relationship going. Based on research by Robert Sternberg, commitment is the decision to devote oneself to a relationship, and to work to maintain it.

When asked to rank passion, commitment and intimacy, from most important to least. Matthew ranked them as passion, commitment and then intimacy, while Alicia ranked them as commitment, passion and intimacy. When asked why they, Matthew stated that it is to sacrifice and commit ourselves to our partner. Whereas, Alicia said that there should be loyalty and faithfulness in a relationship. As based on Robert Sternberg, the combination of passion and commitment gives you fatuous love. They are both leaning towards fatuous love, based on their ranking.

When asked how they would work things out if the ranking is different, Matthew said he would explain how he feels regarding this topic and hope Alicia understands, and Alicia agreed with Matthew.

    She also describes the light of the moon on their first encounter as a silver splash. All these words make it seem that she does want a relationship, but fears that they may not like what they get once they get to know her. Eric makes her do things that she would not normally do. She gets excitement from this; however, she hesitates to answer Eric when he asks her if there were a possibility of them having an affair if they lived closer to each other. Even though Eric sees possibility in her as a partner, she is afraid to commit to a relationship for the fear of losing control. She has worked her whole life to get where she is by setting goals for herself and doing whatever it takes, and this gives her control of her life while sacrificing any romantic relationships that may have come along. If she were to get into a relationship, she would make herself vulnerable and it is something she does not like to…

    Hawkins, Ronald E. (1991) Strengthening Marital Intimacy, Grand Rapids, Mi: Baker Book House.

    Thankfully Christ became the wedge remover (ibid, 17) providing the pattern for the dynamics of biblical commitment through the power of the Holy Spirit. This was the key to intimacy and the ultimate goal for a marriage. Almost as a side note Hawkins explains that intimacy is not sex and sex is not intimacy (Ibid, 24) and that a real foundation for true Godly intimacy is a foundation of commitment (ibid , 28). Not just any kind of commitment but a godly commitment (ibid, 35), even in the face of the individual selfishness, a couple that seek forgiveness and grace committed to meeting each other’s need can fulfill the plans of God if they stay the course with God.…

    Afire Love Analysis

    There is a certain pain that is felt whenever a loved one passes. Beyond sadness, it is hurt, it is anger, it is confusion, and an almost unidentifiable emptiness where the lungs should be. People who have not experienced such loss have a happy, if hazy, view of the world. Then, there are those who lose someone… a major someone... so very special. They do eventually move on, but the pain alters them forever. Ed Sheeran, in the song “Afire Love,” illustrates how the loss of an individual can impact everyone around them, young and old.…

    John and Rachel’s relationship does not eventuate much as they are both from different cultures which makes it difficult. There are many scenes that John and Rachel appear together in.

    Enduring Love Analysis

    Another climax begins at the end of chapter 21 with a phone call between Jed and Joe “I’m putting her on, OK? Are you there? Joe? Are you there?” Here McEwan uses juxtaposition of beginning an event within the formal closure of a chapter. The effect of this adds suspense to the novel as a whole as it wills the reader to follow the chain of events. Also, the panicked dialogue of “Are you there? Joe? Are you there?” heightens the climax by leaving it unresolved.…
