Now that you have a good understanding of the social exchange theory, I want you to apply it to you and your relationships. It is important to note that relationships are not perfect and that we as humans all have liabilities/costs.

Review the questions below that best applies to you. You only need to answer one of them.

1. If you are currently in a romantic relationship, describe the rewards and costs of being in that relationship.

a. How big are the costs and can you grow/have grown to accept these costs?

2. If you are not currently in a romantic relationship describe your assets and liabilities in relation to relationships.

a. Can any of these liabilities be changed/improved?
