Stages of Relationships

 

Objective:
Analyze the progression of a relationship by exploring the stages of "coming together" and "coming apart," using either a real-life example or a fictional relationship from a television series or film.

Instructions

  1. Review Course Content:
    Begin by reviewing the stages of interpersonal relationships and the types of communication that typically occur at each stage. Use the course textbook and learning materials to guide your understanding.
     
  2. Select a Relationship:
    Choose a relationship that clearly demonstrates the full range of relationship development from the initial connection to the end of the relationship. You may choose:
     
    • A personal relationship from your past
       
    • A fictional relationship from a movie or TV show (e.g., Ross and Rachel from Friends)
       
    • A close friend’s or family member’s relationship (with appropriate respect for privacy)
       
  3. Analyze the Stages:
    Identify 10 examples from the relationship that correspond to the five stages of "coming together" and five stages of "coming apart." Use specific interactions, dialogue, events, or visual cues to support each stage. If using a show or film, refer to episode titles, scenes, or time markers where relevant.
     
  4. Connect to Course Concepts:
    Use interpersonal communication theories and terminology from the course to explain how and why the relationship progressed through each stage. Support your observations with at least one scholarly source, such as your textbook.
