Question 1

1. Identify the stage of your most current relationship. Provide at least one example to support your claim.
2. Identify all 10 stages of this theory regarding a past relationship. Provide at least one example to support your claim for each of the 10 stages in the past relationship. For this part of the assignment, number each stage, so it is clear that you are addressing all 10.

• You do not need to “reveal” your private self if you do not wish to do so.
• If you like, you may use an example from someone else’s life (don’t use the real name); you could even invent someone to whom you will apply the theory.
• The purpose of the assignment is to see if you can apply a multi-step theory to a “real” event and provide examples to support your claim.
