Though transgressions among married couples have received the most attention by researchers, transgressions occur in all types of relationships in which individuals are interdependent. There are a range of physical (e.g., stress reactivity, sleep quality), mental (e.g., anxiety, depression), and relationship (e.g., satisfaction, accommodation) health benefits of forgiveness in the context of nonmarried dyadic relationships (e.g., dating relationships, friendships, work relationships). One avenue for future research would be to explore links among these three classes of health outcomes. The investment model of commitment, evolutionary theory, and attachment theory are three overarching relationship-theoretical perspectives that organize and guide present and future research in forgiveness and health within nonmarried dyadic relationships. Overall, this body of scholarship implies that physical, mental, and relationship health all are connected to forgiveness processes, and that the interrelationships among these domains may operate in parallel or at odds with each other. |
