Stages of relationships and the types of messages associated with each stage

  Review the stages of relationships and the types of messages associated with each stage in the textbook and in the learning activities. Review interpersonal relationship types and the theories of interpersonal communication in the textbook and in the learning activities. Think of a relationship (or more than one) from your past that demonstrates the stages of a relationship. You could choose something from you own experience, or select a series or movie. For example, if you chose the series "Friends," could you identify the "coming together" stages demonstrated by the main characters? What were the clues? Could you identify the "coming apart" stages? Again, how did you know what stage they were at?
