ABSTRACT

Locating internal migration at various stages of the life cycle is very important because psychological needs, expectations, and conscious and unconscious fears will vary at different points through life, as the child becomes an adolescent and then an adult who is confronted with middle and then older age. Anxieties appear and reappear throughout the life cycle, and are significant in relation to the present subject of internal and external migration. Developing a couple relationship or getting married are, metaphorically, forms of migration, in terms of the expectations and pressures that affect both members. From a psychological perspective, entering into a couple relationship and marriage is a form of migration. Some individuals use the couple as a bridge to have a family. Sometimes the marriage and the new family is their attempt to develop and grow, but their efforts show the difficulties of establishing a successful migration.
