Choose from 1 of the following options:
Option 1: Explain marital commitment, the types of commitment, and the relationship of commitment to agape love. Consider how the commitment of the premarital couples family of origin might impact their marriage. Consider a case in which the woman is unable to accept or tolerate the mans feelings and thoughts (e.g., a case in which the man tells his partner how he was hurt by her, and she blames him for his wounded feelings rather than taking any ownership of her actions).
Option 2: Explain and identify communication processes as they occur in marriage. Identify and discuss how marital rules link with marital communication, conflict, and marital functioning. Discuss how you would assess marital rules and their relationship to communication and conflict. Consider how to help a premarital couple who are not open and honest with each other about their thoughts and feelings out of fear of hurting the other or looking weak.
Option 3: Imagine working with a premarital couple who have had an on again-off again relationship. The couple reports that they have tended to fight a lot throughout their year-and-a-half relationship. The couple has been engaged for 3 months, and the problematic pattern has continued. Discuss how you would work with the couples conflict and communication issues.
