In a study conducted by art aron and his colleagues, married couples engaged in one of two tasks: either they were tied together with velcro and required to move a soft ball positioned between their heads across a long mat, or they each had to push a ball on their own across the mat with a stick. couples in the first condition reported higher marital satisfaction after completing the task compared to couples in the second condition. how did the researchers interpret these results?

The researchers came to the conclusion that the first task was most arousing, this is because spouses often experience a misattribution of arousal to feeling about their partner. Communication and engaging in fun activities is vital for happy, healthy relationships.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
