"I didn't come from a background where I saw a lot of loving couples. All my aunts and uncles were either split up or fighting all the time. The only healthy relationships I saw were on TV"

This quote by George Lopez speaks to the lack of healthy relationships he was exposed to maturing. He did not have the benefit of seeing caring couples in his household, as all of his aunts and uncles were either broken up or continuously fighting. This absence of favorable relationships in his life implied that the only examples of healthy relationships he saw were on television. This quote speaks to the importance of having favorable role models in our lives, as it can form our understanding of relationships and how we engage with others. It also talks to the power of tv and media in providing us with examples of healthy relationships, even if we do not have them in our own lives.
