What is your couple type?
Step by step, you create your life with your partner. Although every relationship is unique, all of them fit one of the couple types: Association, Castle, Nest, Partner, and Side by Side.
These five couple types were defined by a team of sociologists at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. The results were compiled from a group of 1,500 married and unmarried couples of any age, living together for at least a year. The first conclusions showed that couple types are varied.
From this diversity, five couple types are extracted. One of these couple types mirrors your relationship. The others may remind you of your friends, your parents, or your neighbors.

Being in a relationship is like building a beautiful home
We have to work on our relationship; it is like a magnificent building with several floors. Maintaining a relationship involves compromises and sacrifices such as the distribution of power, resources, and influences within the relationship.
How can we define the different types?
Four dimensions are used to calibrate the different types:
Borders
Each relationship has its borders. They define how the partners share individual resources (time, money, ideas, and feelings). They also describe how the partners decide to interact with their external environment.

Goals
The priority given to objectives, such as tenderness, communication, economic success, social integration or psychological comfort can explain how the goals of the relationship are organized.

Roles
Instrumental roles (gendered division of household labor and professional activities) and the relational roles (providing information, goal selection, and support) define the different degrees of gendering.

Behavior
This dimension captures the different investment of men and women in the domestic sphere, which is not only a question of time and presence, but is also connected with the sacrifices that one can or is willing to make for it. Couples follow a fixed set of norms concerning family timetables and specific habits.
