Fitzpatrick’s Couple Types
I am single with no children, so I will be taking a look at my immediate family throughout the class. The Linc and Jaine Murray family are a combination of traditional and independent. With seven children you have to be able to adapt and accept change. Roll with the punches per se. On the other hand, with a large household you have to have a routine and be organized. My mom is the most organized women I know. I don't know what any of us would do without her!
Gottman’s Conflict Types
The Murray's are validators. We respect each other's views but with some many people and different personalities you are bound to have disagreements.
Kantor and Lehr’s Family Types
The Murray's are also an open family. We are encouraged to pursue our own goals and interests but the family is always there to be supportive of our decisions.

Family Functions
My family is very supportive and nurturing. I come from a large family and because of that I am fortunate enough to always have someone to talk to and be there to listen. We are a close knit bunch and after losing my father in a car accident in late 2006 we have become even closer.
My parents are great nurturers. My mom always makes sure everyone gets to the right place and On Time! Dad was always right there too. Not only did he help with homework but was always right there cheering in the stands at a sporting event or driving countless miles to take me to another pageant-without even complaining! What a great guy!
After I began school, both of my parents worked outside of the home and we have always been provided with the basic resources.
My parents also strived not impose individual development in everyone. Not everyone is going to play sports or be able to sing (I sure wish I could!). However, they were supportive and encouraging of our individual personalities.
