An article about relationships

http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/06/happily-ever-after/372573/

This is a really well written article and its points are well made. It speaks volumes on how people should really treat each other and explains how some couples stay together in relationships and others break up. They stress that when couples share and bond over happy moments they are more likely to be happy, but likewise it's also important to recognize the bad moments and how to deal with those are equally as important. There are 4 types of ways in which partners can respond to each other; active construction, passive construction, active destruction, and passive destruction. You can read about examples in the article. Couples who stay together react to each other using active construction, while other types of responses tend to cause couples to split.
