YOGYAKARTA The match is a determinant of a romantic relationship that will last forever or break up in the middle of the road. Some relationships break up due to boredom. Tyler Jamilson, Ph.d., a member of the association of professor Human Development and Family Studies at the University of New Hampsir, and Jonathon Backmeyer conducted research on the types of romantic relationships with a number of factors as variables.

Research on romantic relationships is followed by single participants, casual dating, committed relationships, engagement, and marriage. More deeply, the study explored the dynamics of relationships such as warmth, support, negative interactions, and relationship satisfaction to understand what was happening between partners. As a result, they found the following types of romantic relationships.

The couple is warm, supportive, and has relatively low levels of negative interaction. There is a possibility that this happy and independent couple will marry, but each paired person doesn't combine their lives too much. Everyone lives alone, independent, and doesn't spend much time together.

This second type of romantic relationship, according to Jamilon reported by Psychology Today, Friday, September 16, is the most common type of relationship. People in this group are happy and combine their lives. Like they save in one account, spend a lot of free time together, and prepare to live together. The age of this group is older and has been in a romantic relationship for a little longer.

People who are included in this group are often in new relationships. They haven't been together long. Interactions with each other are less positive than the first and second groups. Well, people who have romantic relationships in the exploration phase still recognize each other and learn what they want from their relationships.

Jamilon and Beckmeyer call the relationship "stucked" because they both don't have positive interactions and are dissatisfied with their relationship. The couple took the longest time together compared to the previous group of romantic relationships. However, they remain committed and there are no plans to get married. More than half of the couples classified as this group, have broken up and returned together.

High-intensity relationships, have a lot of warmth but also a lot of negative interactions. They are satisfied in their relationship and have been together for a long time. However, they have a high cycle of relationships as well. They often broke up but also ended up getting back together. Beckmeyer and Jamilon concluded about this type of relationship, that they only had and could establish a little relationship.

Through research conducted by Jamilon and Beckmeyer above, high-intensity relationships reported symptoms of depression. While the first and second group pairs, provide the best results from the measured results.
