This is my research topic for philosophy class. I have been searching for articles to help, with no luck. Any ideas or your own thoughts? :-)

The thesis is more of a statement. I am certain that relationships to affect ones philosophy and thoughts. Just looking for feedback and maybe some article websites

Here is an old adage that my mother always told me. Perhaps it will help.
"If you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas."
Look up co-dependence. That may help.
Historically look up how different socities assimulated one another.
I was reading about how hermmes and another egyptian god broght about another character in mythology because the two socities met at a phycial location and the new character took on characteristics of each. So study how when different cultures meet what the result is in their religion when two different faiths meet. That should prove fruitful. There is actually a name for it.
Consider how many people convert to the faith of their new spouse.
Look at the fact that most people follow the faith of their family. Nearly 100%
How is that for an impact of a relationship on philosophy?
Good luck!
Blessings and peace to all,
All in all,
B

Dear God, yes!
But for the most it helps one develop one own individuality. Only by being around others, can you identify your true feelings about being alive and thus that reflection of it. However, if your subject to influence from others, and you begin to think their way, that's not good. You must always keep your thoughts and beliefs to yous own.
Living alone in later life, can be an option, but only after your sure that's the way you like it. Lots of people prefer to live like that, less distractions and more 'me-time'.

Definitely; otherwise, every one would have the same philosophy and knowledge.
I know I have learned a lot from my wife!

yes if they have a very narrow view of the world. there's more to life than just relationships. a truly happy person wouldn't need anybody at all.

It better. Otherwise, what's the point?
Read the ancient myth of Pygmallion.
