Understanding Family Dynamics

When we talk about families obviously they are going to all be different in their own ways. There are a couple theories that we can use to describe different families. For my family I learned that we are most like the exchange theory. We don't always agree but there is a lot of give an take in our relationships. To make our family function right we do a lot of compromising. If we refrain from doing this sometimes then (from my own experience) that I will withdraw from them and just want to get away from them. We have to work hard though constantly because one of us will always tend to be more stubborn. But we are training ourselves more and more everyday.
