Reward Influence.

I thought it was interesting in class when we talked about the different types of influences in marriage. The one that stood out most to me was the reward influence. I see this a lot in my family. Majority of the time, I see it in the way my parents influence my brother and I, but it has some influence in their marriage as well. My mom always tells me to do something, and then she'll either tell me she's going to take something away from me or give me something for a job well done; most times they reward us. However, I also see it play out in my parent's marriage. My mom often tells my dad that he has to do things otherwise she won't do something else that needs to be done, or she'll say that she will do this if he does that and so on. My parents are two pretty happy and content people, so I guess that type of influence is working out pretty well for them.
