Relationships

Relationships, in general, are usually separated into interpersonal, intimate and casual relationships. In a different area, relation is applied in the field of mathematics to determine how one event compares to another event.

An interpersonal relationship is when two or more individuals have a longer term association with each other. The interpersonal association is often based on a social commitment like love, business interaction, or a liking or attachment. Interpersonal relationships are formed out of social groups or the result of society actions.

An intimate relationship is really an interpersonal relationship where the individuals have become very close to each other. This type of relationship usually involves emotional and/or physical intimacy. The individuals have learned to trust each other at an elevated level. In an intimate situation, love is generally a very important factor.

A casual, or causality, relationship involves two events: cause and effect. In this type of relationship, the cause event leads directly to the effect (result) event. The cause and effect events are the normal characterization of the causality relationship. This type of relationship can also be applied not only to events but also to properties, processes, affairs and variables to name a few.
