“…Relationship status of subjects. We asked subjects to indicate their relational status, as well as the number of "close personal relationships" they maintained (following the definition by Guerrero et al, 2011). Subjects in Study 2 self-identified as single-not-dating (25.2%), dating (13.7.0%), married (35.5%), divorced at least once (12.8%), or living common law (2.6%).…”

“…The other impetus is to recognize, as Bromely and Busching (1988) argued, that contract and covenant orientations apply to diverse relationships, including family, clan, organizations, and societies. The focus of the current research is on "close relationships" as defined by Guerrero, Andersen, and Afifi (2011). People in a close relationships 1) interact regularly over time, 2) depend on each other in some way, 3) feel emotionally attached, 4) meet each other's needs, 5) exercise mutual influence, 6) create unique ways of communi-cating, and 7) feel like the other is not readily replaceable (Guerrero et al, 2011).…”

Christian approaches to close relationships in North America have been understood in covenantal terms between married persons, dating couples, and close friends, and have been contrasted with contractual or ego-based ones. Covenantal approaches value the dyad, interdependence, faith community involvement, and communication strategies to engender long-term commitment whereas contractual approaches value self, independence, negotiation for personal needs, and freedom to exit relationships when costs outweigh benefits. The authors gathered survey data among 713 subjects over three studies in order to develop a 22-item scale to measure covenantal and contractual worldview dimensions in close relationships. Scale items were examined for inter-item reliability, factor structure, evidence for construct validity, and predictive power of relational satisfaction. The resulting Contract-Covenant Continuum showed good reliability and multi-dimensionality. Evidence was also gathered to support concurrent, construct, and criterion validity as well as the scale's capacity to predict relational satisfaction and equity.
