A Tale Of Intimate Relationships That Unfolds Through A Series Of Letters
We recommend The Letters most, especially for those with high regard for intimate relationships. Paul Tick’s “Letters” is an absolute cornerstone and enormously helpful in understanding how intimate relationships have continually developed through the key figures of a traditional narrative.
Letters imbibe us through lovers’ passion, the couple’s madness, and commitment. Love asks only to become a habit for Alan and Elizabeth, a life in common, one flesh of two, and as soon as it is such, it is dead. Thinking about it, one gets mad! It’s useless. Love is life, and life doesn’t want arguments.
The couple writes poignant love letters to be read at their funeral. Letters that begin as a lover’s lament and then turn into a reflection on feelings and life. In the passage, every stroke of Paul’s writing vibrates with melancholy, letting the awareness (or fear) emerge of an inevitable end of an announced disaster. The readers cannot help but remember it – revealing a nagging need for invigorating intimate relationships and being able to find love and existence.
And yet, one gesture still survives. There is a spy who can unmask those in love and leaves no room for doubt: the couple in love writes letters. Not because they must express, dig into emotionality, and bear their heart overflowing with feelings. Of course, they could let off steam by writing a personal diary, but Letters is the chosen genre for lovers because it is the only one that connects two intimacies: the “I and you.”
So, what is “A Tale Of Intimate Relationships That Unfolds Through A Series Of Letters”?
Intimate relationships are reciprocal interactions between two or more people. The communication process is critical and fundamental in interpersonal relationships, and the laws and institutions of social interaction regulate these relationships.
Intimate relationships like those in Letters can be very varied and sentimental. They are those relationships in which there is a deep connection and intimacy with the other party, and affection is present, albeit at different levels. These relationships are usually stable over time. Trust is part of them. They are formed and maintained as they bring well-being, pleasure, and positive emotions and satisfy our needs for protection and belonging. The two most characteristic examples of these relationships are the love and friendship that Alan and Elizabeth endure. They are the relationships formed between the people in our family who have been with us since birth and with whom our family tree links us, and we have a blood bond.
The couple reveals in Letters how they maintained intimate relationships governed by the principle of authority. Their relationship had depth with affection and, intimacy, emotional connection.
How to maintain intimate relationships that last a generation!
People who innately have better social skills than others and are better at establishing and maintaining intimate relationships can also learn to develop this ability.
So pay close attention to the five points below from Letters that can improve our yearning for intimate relationships. Put them into practice!
Avoid conflict whenever you can
We don’t know if it happens to you, but it is common for us to move away and not want to be around people we all recognize as troublesome for a long time. And it is to maintain good personal relationships. Conflict is going to be challenging for us. It is inevitable to argue on a few occasions, and sometimes disagreements arise, but in a timely manner. So try to be friendly and cooperative and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Learn to accept differences.
Alan and Elizabeth accepted diversity. And it is that between white and black, we have to take an infinite and incredible scale of grays. Differences and diversity are something very positive. Be flexible, open your mind, say no to rigidity, and get used to living with diversity.
Be open to relationships and interaction.
For intimate relationships to occur, the first thing to happen is that the person is open to that relationship. Even if you are somewhat more introverted, try to make an effort so that this does not hinder you. Just try not to isolate yourself too much. Say hello when you arrive, say goodbye when you leave, and keep up the conversation when they talk to you.
Ask for help when you need it.
You may already know, but asking for help strengthens interpersonal relationships, especially at work. It’s an optimal way to get closer to someone. Let yourself be advised by Alan and Elizabeth from Letters. Learn from them. This brings people closer.
Show yourself empathy
Using empathy is also another way to show that you are there to help. Putting yourself in the place of others improves confidence and therefore enhances interpersonal relationships. If there is empathy, there is hope.
Now that you know more about the world of intimate relationships and their presence and well-being in our day-to-day lives do not close yourself off from them. We are social beings, so relating is in our essence.
Similarity increases desirability.
Intimate attraction in a relationship is the tendency of an individual to evaluate another person positively. Attraction as an attitude has three components: the cognitive and the affective components. Only people who are close to each other can interact. Once people are compact and come into contact, other factors intervene in the course of the relationship. People who agree in opinions will attract each other.
We appreciate those who appreciate us. You even love more those who at first did not respect us and little by little have come to appreciate us. This last affirmation would be opposed to the behaviorist theses that assume that we would value more those who provide us with the most reinforcements and rewards.
Let’s connect with Letters!
Attraction refers to a positive attitude experienced by one person towards another. Want and love is related but do not mean the same thing. To love is to feel care; affection for another person; to love is to feel an intense appreciation for another person.
