Relationship Turning Point

          I think relationship turning points are a really interesting concept. In different cultures with the same thing we may get different relationship turning points. Devito tells me, “movement through the various stages usually is a gradually process; you don’t jump from contact to involvement to intimacy. Rather, you progress gradually, a few degrees at a time. Yet there are often turning points” (DeVito 218). In my opinion, with turning point when we change the relationship from one level to another level, we have a turning point.

            When we build a relationship we always have the turning point. For example, in China, the girl and boy have a good romantic relationship, they want to get married. So, they will see each other’s parents, and then they will go get married. The process of meeting each other’s parents is a turning point. In China, people who want to get married should first see each other’s parents. If the parents agree with them, then they can get married. I think we can say this turning point is positive or negative. if the parents agree with them, this turn point is positive; if the parents disagree with them, this turning point will become a negative point. They romantic relationship may break. In China, people are always careful with this turning point because it may bring a big problem.
