Attachment to mother plays a crucial role in child’s relationship with its close people at all stages of its growth, in particular, in future marital relationship, because human personality is largely formed by his or her interactions with the people with whom he or she identifies himself (parents, peers, etc). Family relations in which a child grows influence on its interaction with close people, as well as on the formation of relations in future family. The type of attachment to his or her mother has an impact on the relationship between spouses. Couples who have a safe type of attachment to his or her mother feel confident in conflict situations; they practically are not afraid of making a mistake. However, spouses with anxiety-ambivalent type of attachment are dependent very much on praise and fear of being rejected. Spouses with avoidance type of attachment, avoid social interactions and are harder to deal with.
