RELATIONSHIP FORMATION ULMERT MFT 8307-1 4 The purpose of this assignment was for this student to offer my thoughts on the changes in how relationships are formed and then explore possible marriage and family techniques I would use if I was working with a couple that was struggling with a newly formed relationship. As I read the assignments, a theme emerged on the use of social media, internet, and emails as an avenue that was used for the development of relationships (Fox & Anderegg, 2014; Specher, 2009). Additionally, Specher (2009) indicates that a study conducted by “Parks and Floyd (1996)” found that 61 % of internet users developed a relationship with an individual that they had meet online. The use and development of electronic devices, and internet site appears to be the major change in relationship development. A question came to mind as I thought about the use of internet and social media: What is the appeal to connect with someone using an app, internet, or social media versus a face to face interaction? The use of social media can offer connections and the ability to stay in touch with family and friends, particularly in the military where family member is often time deployed in various locations over the world. Additionally, studies have indicated that an advantage of internet services, consist of individuals being able to express their thoughts, beliefs and views more openly than if they were face to face. For example, if a person is shy they may be less likely to engage in conversation or express their thoughts in its entirety. Whereas, the use of the internet allows the individual to express themselves completely without interruption (Hertlein, 2012). The disadvantage is that there is a lack of non-verbal communication and messages are not clear, and when a commitment is made the little nuances that one might have is not addressed. As a result, many individuals may choose to have a sexual relationship, or choose to cohabitate soon after their first face to face meeting, resulting in relationship issues particularly high levels of conflict, and communication issues. I would use two primary MFT techniques to assist in development of strong relationships. John Gottman’s: The 4 Horseman of relationships and the strong Marital House and Gary Chapmans: The Five Love Languages. The rationale of this would be to allow the individuals to develop an
