Experimenting: relationship stage - answer✔"Oh, so you like to ski...so do I." "You do? Great.

Where do you go?"- we are beginning the process of experimenting--trying to discover the

unknown; small talk is key, relationship is relaxed and pleasant with many questions


Intensifying- relationship stage - answer✔"I...think I love you." "I love you too"- we have a good

amount of personal closure and we have begun to get a glimpse of some previously withheld

secrets; we have begun to speak more informally; we become close with caution waiting for

confirmation before proceeding


Bonding: relationship stage - answer✔"I feel so much a part of you" "Yeah, we are like one

person" "I want to be with you always" "Let's get married"- our two individual personalities are

almost fused or blended; verbal and nonverbal communication shows that we are alike; in a

public ritual we have announced to the world that a commitment has been formally contracted;

communication is at its highest level


Integrating stage - answer✔As partners choose to intensify their relationship, they become

increasingly interdependent which translates to more opportunities for conflict


Sleeper effect - answer✔The effect of conflict during courtship sometimes does not show up

until later; even serious conflict during courtship does not always affect a couple's satisfaction

with their relationship at the time, but it may predict dissatisfaction with the partner and the

marriage up to five years later

disapproval or encouragement) versus what they do
