ESSAY QUESTIONS

13-71. Which factors contribute to maintaining, and perhaps even enhancing, marital satisfaction following the birth of a child? Apply these factors to Felix and Edweena, who have a 6-month-old at home.

• Relationship expert John Gottman identified three factors that can help couples deal with the increased stress that follows the introduction of a child to a marital relationship.
• Working to build fondness and affection for one’s partner is a good start. Felix might give Edweena two of her favorite candy bars, for no reason at all, as a reminder of the little things that brought them together and make one another happy.
• Remaining aware of events in one’s partner’s life and responding to those events helps. Even if she needs to write it down to remember, Edweena should ask Felix about his upcoming initiation at the Moose Lodge, and celebrate the day when it arrives.
• Considering problems as controllable and solvable is good advice for new parents, and for people in general. When Felix complains that “there’s no way to pay the installments on the potato harvester!” Edweena can remind him that they’ve always made the payments before, there’s cash left in the bale wrapper fund, and that meeting each challenge as it arises is part of successful coping.

13-72. Nancy Schlossberg identified six basic paths to retirement. Describe these paths and apply each to the case of Gloria, a recent retiree.

• Continuers use part-time or volunteer work to remain at least partially active in their pre-retirement work. Gloria might volunteer at a nonprofit organization, helping with their taxes, to keep partially involved in her previous occupation as a bookkeeper.
• Involved spectators take more of a back-seat role in staying connected with their previous fields. Gloria might maintain her subscription to Bookkeeper Times, The Monthly Newsletter for Bookkeepers and Their Books, but only to read dispassionately about developments in her former field.
• Adventurers use retirement as a time to explore entirely new pursuits, perhaps including a new field of work. Gloria might try her hand at pastel painting, something she’s never done before.
• Searchers try different activities in search of a suitable way to spend their retirement. Gloria may drift from hobby to hobby, dabbling a bit in each but never committing to any one.
• Easy gliders don’t fret about retirement much and take each day as it comes. Gloria’s plans to clean the house would go completely out the window when she wakes and sees the beautiful, sunshiny day that awaits her outdoors.
• Retreaters become depressed and withdrawn and stop searching for a meaningful pathway through retirement. Let’s hope that Gloria has chosen one of the other pathways, and not entirely given up on life and happiness. We work to live, not the other way around.
