Abstract

Omoregie (2023) developed the SCRAP LOC model in his book, 'Divergent Theory of Intimate Relationships- A Theory & Remedy.' The model provides a structured framework for addressing divergence in intimate relationships. The aim of this paper was to present the SCRAP LOC model, highlighting its theoretical underpinnings and practical applications. There were 76 couples (152 participants) who attended a relationship seminar that took place in the Greater Manchester region post covid-19 pandemic. Participants were those whose relationships had survived 10 years and above without in-between breakups. 32 key factors were extracted from participants' perceptions as being responsible for addressing relational divergence and improving relational harmony. These factors were factorised into superordinate factors. Findings suggest that the SCRAP LOC model has promising potential for usability. Potential implications and limitations of the model were discussed.
