Relationships 101

Some colleges around the United States are adding a new course to their classes being offered: Relationships 101. Though it's not necessarily called that at all colleges, the concept is still the same. Some universities are holding courses that teach college students more about relationship life, namely marriage and such.

I thought that was really interesting. At first, before I read the article, I thought the idea of it was kind of stupid. Who would pay hundreds of dollars to take a class when you can just as easily go buy a book? After reading it though, it seems as if it is opening up some people's eyes to the other side of the spectrum. Men and women can interact, and they aren't necessarily interacting with their significant other. It opens up a new doorway in understanding the other gender.

I probably wouldn't take this course, personally, but I'm glad to hear that it is doing well. I've been involved in Women's Bible Studies that discussed marriage and how to be a more understanding wife/girlfried, etc. But for people who don't have anybody to really go to about these subjects, it's a good idea if they're willing to take it.

I must say that it's one of those most interesting courses I have heard of.

Relationships

One of my friends has said, "Marriage is more math than chemistry." With interpersonal relationships, that 'spark' of infatuation is not reliable or important unless the parties involved are willing to expend the effort to make a meaningful relationship. However, effort is not always enough - couples need to understand basics of communication and cooperation, and a class on relationships would be a good way to encourage those skills.
