Girls Are Us: A Collection Of Oral Histories From The Jmu Community, Anne M. Sherman

Students in these programs experience unique stress, change, and at times, physical distance from an intimate partner. Coombs's theory on values consensus postulated that the more alike family values are in a relationship, the better the RQ will be. The purpose of this …
