20. 1. FAMILY
• The Bureau of the
Census defines family
as “two or more
persons who are
related by birth,
marriage, or adoption
and who live together
as one household.”

21. 3. Regular
Interactions
1.Support
2. Mutual
trust
4. Shared
beliefs and
values
5. Security
6. A sense of
community

22. 2. FRIENDS
• A friendship can be
thought of as a close tie
between two people that
is often built upon
mutual experiences,
shared interests,
proximity, and emotional
bonding.
• Researchers find that
the average person has
about six close ties –
though some have more,
and may have only one
or none.

23. 3. PARTNERSHIPS
• Romantic partnerships,
including marriage, are
close relationships
formed between two
people that are built
upon affection, trust,
intimacy and romantic
love.
• We usually experience
this kind of relationship
with only one person at
a time.

25. • Healthy relationships are a vital
component of health and well-being.
• There is compelling evidence that strong
relationships contribute to a long, healthy,
and happy life.
• The health risks from being alone or
isolated in one’s life are comparable to the
risks associated with cigarette smoking,
blood pressure, and obesity.

33. • Social alienation is an inevitable result of
contemporary society’s preoccupation with
materialism and frantic “busy-ness”.
• Their decades of research support the
idea that a lack of relationships can cause
multiple problems with physical, emotional
and spiritual health.
• The research is clear and devastating:
isolation is fatal.

44. 1. Think about what it means to be in a loving
romantic relationship.
2. Describe what it would mean if you said, “I
Love You” in a romantic relationship.
3. You will have 5 minutes to write 3 to 5
sentences about it.
4. Fold the paper once when you are done and
hand it in.
5. One girl and one boy will take turns reading
the definitions in class and you will attempt to
guess whether a boy or girl wrote the
definition.

45. • To make this more engaging for students,
we turn it into a competition and the
students have to keep score as to how
many they guess correctly. The winner at
the end of the class is crowned “Dr. Love”
(you can make this as dramatic as you
want).
• As the students read the definitions, as the
teacher, I start to write down buzz words
and common themes I hear on the board
(trust, respect, emotional, commitment,
loyalty, etc.).

46. • Some Reflection Questions:
• What made you think the writer was a boy
or girl?
• Do you think we (males and females) are
more alike than different in our views of
what love means?
• What common themes did you hear
mentioned when someone says “I Love
You?”
• What effect might differing views of love

47. 1. Express your ways of showing attraction,
love, and commitment to become
responsible in a relationship through
acting out the scenes that you will get.
2. Think of situations or scenarios
happening in a romantic relationship.
3. One boy and one girl will be called to act
out the situation on the spot.

48. SCENE 1
