For all of those who believe in love at first sight or fairy tail love stories, you would hate the idea of love as a logical decision. If these people can get past the first thought of disagreement with the statement, it may start to make sense. To think of finding someone that you not only have feelings for but they also logically fits into your life and the type of life style you live can make marriage and any relationship much easier. With this type of logic, it could help to fix the horrific divorce rate that has taken over marriage lately.
The example of this is all of the online dating sites. The match.com's of the world have changed dating forever and have tried to make a science of selecting who should be coupled together. After answering hundreds of questions about your own like and dislikes, and what morals you need from your partner and which are not necessarily needed, the matching begins. These questions are all calculated and matched with others who have taken the test and you are given "matches" that they think you will get along with. This method has seemed to worked with the match.com fact of "1 of 4 new relationship starts online". If these relationships are starting and working then maybe love can be broken down to a science.

Week 7 Blog Reviews

I enjoyed reading your post on men and women communication. Your story of how you and your husband experienced communication problem just as Tannen described and you now understand why his "silent attention" is still listening. The one part that I can say needs improvement is that I didn't not get to know much about the article other than the exact quote that answered your communication issues.

The post on monogamous humans was a very good explanation of the article and I feel that you hit on the all the important issues that were discussed. The only thing I could find is that at a point it got a little repetitive and the same things were being said for a second time.

Your post on communication between men and women was well written and put together very well. I like how you started with some back round information on your relationships and how the article has affected you and your partners communication. I feel like your post could have had more quotes and given a little more in site to what the author was thinking.

Your post on "Our Cheating Hearts" was very described and well organized. I feel that you got a lot of points across and anyone reading this post would know what it was about. The only part that I would change is there may be to much information for it to be an overview of the article. There are parts where some of the information is not necessarily needed.

Heterosexual Monogamous
I believe that in America today it is important to have monogamous relationships to keep the idea of a family in tact. With how common divorce has become and how public figures are always said to be either cheating on their spouse or leaving their current marriage for a newer fresher one. Almost everyone has a friend that had their parents go through a divorce and many divorces are cause by infidelity. In the reading Wright talks about how difficult completely monogamous relations have become and has many thought on why women and men cheat.
The quote that I feel described this article is "Much of what I discovered about human mating is not nice". The dating world is a very tough, heart breaking place where it can be hard enough to find your "perfect mate" so complicating it with fidelity and jealousy very much makes in "not nice". So when or if someone does find their perfect mate and they try to start a life and a family, to have to deal with the commonality of infidelity and divorce makes the little arguments a lot worse and the bad arguments much worse than they used to be seen.
