Network overlaps is the number of shared associations, including friends and family, that a couple has.
Relationships are essential to human life. They could range from close intimate relationships, to enduring friendships, to mere acquaintances.
Romantic relationships are the most intimate of all relationships as everything is shared between the partners. Yet, this form of relationship is not self-enclosed, and is rather heavily influenced by social networks. In fact, social networks are said to be a factor in determining whether a relationship will last.
A romantic relationship is more enduring if the partners have network overlaps. Network overlaps refer to the mutual family and friends that both share. These are sources of support and mediation when conflicts arise in the relationship.
