关系灵性

什么是关系灵性? 人们怎么说我们的灵性?

         “我找到了我的灵魂伴侣.”“天作之合.”“我们发过神圣的誓言.”        

          “我孩子的出生是个奇迹.”“一起祈祷的家庭永远在一起.” 

  • These familiar quotes illustrate the deep historical ties that exist between faith and family life. 但现代社会科学家对 “我的灵性”而不是我们的灵性.” 例如, psychologists who study religion and spirituality have focused mostly on how faith may help or harm individuals, 不是亲密关系. 相比之下，我们的网站侧重于 "我们的灵性" or 关系灵性尤其是在家庭中.

我们如何定义关系灵性?

  • 在我们的博天堂官方网站中， 关系灵性 指的是人们依靠灵性的时候, 无论好坏, 帮助他们创造, 维护, 改变他们的亲密关系. 另外说, 关系灵性 refers to when the search for the sacred (spirituality) is united with the search for intimate relationships.
  • Our approach to defining 关系灵性 extends the definition we use for spirituality into the realm of intimate relationships. 我们的方法是植根于博士. Mahoney's comprehensive reviews of empirical studies on the role of religion and spirituality, 不管是好是坏, 对于家庭关系(参见推荐阅读). Dr. 马奥尼依靠的是共和党的支持 邓普顿基金会 to publish a review paper in 2010 on 184 peer-reviewed studies on faith and family life that had been published from 1999-2009.  2010年的回顾, she created a 关系灵性框架 to organize the available findings on faith and family life, 并为更深入的博天堂官方网站提供地图. 在这个过程中, she drew on prior work in the psychology of religion and spirituality to define relational spirituality. 她特别依赖Dr. parparent关于宗教和精神的定义.

What general findings have social scientists uncovered about 关系灵性 in family life?

  • Much of what social scientists know about how spirituality and religion shapes family bonds is based on very general questions about peoples' involvement in organized religion. To get perspective what social scientists have learned, please answer the following questions: 
    • 你的宗教信仰是什么? (无，佛教，天主教，新教，伊斯兰教，犹太教，伊斯兰教，其他)? 
    • 你多久参加一次宗教仪式? 
    • 宗教在你的日常生活中有多重要? 
  • What would your answers to these three general questions reveal about how spirituality and religion shape your family relationships, 无论好坏? 可能不多. But about 75- 80% of studies using surveys of faith and family life rely on general and vague questions about religion, 比如这三个基本问题. 
  • One general bottom line from research using these questions is that higher involvement in organized religion tends to help families headed by married couples and by single mothers.

What have social scientists done to take a closer look at 关系灵性 in family life for better and for worse?

  • Most research on 关系灵性 offers broad generalizations about the role of faith in family life. 然而, studies using open-ended interviews suggests that a lot is going 下 the surface of the general findings. Some researchers have begun to take closer look at specific spiritual beliefs and practices about family relationships that make a difference, 无论好坏. We are especially interested in untangling both the ways that faith can be helpful or harmful. 在本网站,  we highlight specific examples of ways that religion and spirituality operate 无论好坏 in family relationships.

Why are we so passionate about delving deeper into the helpful and harmful roles that 关系灵性 can play for families? 

  • We hope to spur more thinking and research that brings to light unique ways that religion and spirituality can help or harm family relationships. 例如, a therapist who learns that a client attends a Methodist church twice a month would have few clues about specific spiritual beliefs the client holds about family life that could be part of the problem or the solution in the client’s marital and parental difficulties. And even though studies show that higher attendance at any place of worship in the US is statistically, 但弱, 与较低的离婚率和儿童身体虐待有关, 我们对这些联系存在的原因和方式知之甚少. 
  • Here are are few of the important and unexplored questions about faith why and how faith operates within family relationships: 
    • Does more frequent public worship promote certain spiritual beliefs or behaviors about family life that people can draw for strength to form and sustain family bonds? 
    • What happens if family members do not live up to their spiritual ideals or have spiritually-based disagreements with others about 婚姻, 性, 育儿, 或离婚? 
    • 某些精神信仰会造成家庭成员之间的距离或冲突吗, 并且使处理一些家庭问题变得更加困难?
  • 简而言之, we believe that people across the globe would benefit from a deeper appreciation of the specific ways that spirituality, 在不同的宗教机构内外进行, 能帮助家庭团聚还是拆散.

我们网站的目标是什么?

  • Our goal is to help you to learn what we and other research groups are uncovering as we  dig more deeply into faith and family life. 这包括灵性的方式
    • 能成为创造和维持爱情关系的资源吗
    • 有时会增加压力吗 
  • 希望, 通过更深入地博天堂官方网站这些问题, we may come to better 下stand ways that people weave spirituality into their family relationships, 不管是好是坏, be better prepared to help them use spirituality as a resource and overcome spiritual struggles when trouble strikes home.
