▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pure relationship theory. A Pure relationship refers to a situation where a social relation is entered into for its own sake, for what can be derived by each person from a sustained association with another; and which is continued only in so far as it is thought by both parties to deliver enough satisfaction for each individual to stay within it (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1992:58). For the purposes of this study, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇‟ pure relationship construct includes a number of qualities that are relevant to social behaviour. Pure relationships are not materially anchored to external social phenomenon such as extended family, pure relationships are voluntarily and internally organized and maintained by the people or parties themselves (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1991:88- 89). The following are the tenets of the theory: i. Free-floating relationships The relationship is kept alive in either both marriage and any social interaction by the virtue of reaching an intended goal. They are kept alive for the sake of the social reward/emotional satisfaction they bring to life ii. Pure Relationships are sought for what the relationship can bring to the partners.
