Abstract

This study aims to delve into the social dimensions of romantic relationships between men and women. Conducted through fieldwork in July 2021, focusing on four case studies in Mascara city, we explored their personal stories and viewpoints. Our findings indicate that romantic love, as a deep emotional connection, is influenced by various social factors such as upbringing, religion, family dynamics, traditions, and artistic expression. These elements impart specific social meanings to romantic love, underscoring its importance for sociological analysis. Our primary goal is to uncover the cultural and social implications inherent in romantic love, revealing it as a nuanced social phenomenon fraught with some complexities. The key findings drawn from this research is that family, upbringing, religion, and art profoundly shape the social understanding of romantic love and emotional bonds.
