The Relationship Attachment Model.

The Relationship Attachment Model or RAM, consists of 5 different parts-Commit, Know, Trust, Rely, and Touch. Our author, felt that it was very important to have a very good balance between these 5 things. And I agree.
As we discussed in a marriage class that I took last year, a person has to start off somewhere, before they decide to go farther in other areas. It is always good to find a good balance between them, but starting out with having a lot of Touch, can be an issue. We talked about how important it is to know and trust somebody before you commit to them. After getting to know you and them getting to know you, you can gain a mutual trust between each other, that sooner than later, will gain a commitment for the both of you. Once you have gained a knowledge of each other, you trust each other, and you have decided to make a commitment to each other, you start to heavily rely on each other. And last but not least, after you have gotten to know each other, you have that trust and that commitment to one another now, and you rely on them, that is when touch should begin to start happening.
Something that I find important is when somebody can go through an entire relationship before marriage and not ever once touch the other person, for their own personal desires and gratification. This shows so much love that these two people must have towards each other. Some people start their relationship out with touch, and lots of times they regret this for their entire life.
