Emotional distance with the father, communication in the parental family

The author notes the significance of studying the relationship between emotional distance with the father and emotional communications in the parental family with the motives for marriage, which allows to determine the factors affecting the quality of marriage. It is often found that a woman begins to build relationships with the opposite sex in the same way as her relationship with her father was built. This is reflected in her future personal and family life. The choice of marriage partner, however, depends both on the personal characteristics of the father and on the characteristics of the relationship that is established between the daughter and the father as a result of family interaction. The results of the study show how the relationship with parents influences the choice of spouse of women from both complete and incomplete families. The results of women from single-parent families are particularly interesting. The results may be useful for practicing psychologists working with families, as well as for parents raising children without a spouse. And also allow to develop training programs and recommendations for young people regarding the improvement and greater awareness of child-parent relations, which can reduce the number of divorces.
