Two types of stages

Growing apart

terminating

participants part ways and are no longer seen by others or themselves as a couple

while conversations may increase, so does the level of frustration and disagreement

actively avoid each other, viewing the other as in the way

stagnating

joint activities are not dynamic and require a little interaction

actively engage in other activities

circumscribing

communication interaction decreases and takes on a negative tone

the time they spend together are farther and farther apart

spend less time together

differentiating

start emphasizing individuals differences instead of their similarities and common ground

Coming Together

bonding

eg: marriage or through a joint venture like buying a house

intensifying

choose a time when you will not be distracted by family or others

work it out, don't quit

avoid arguing over details. stick to the main points

show respect and empathy

stick to the subject. don't bring up old issues

do not mind read or second-guess each other

Listen to each other

Two positive ways to manage conflict
