Relationship Maintenance

Identify one social relationship in your life that needs some strengthening. Devote at least 1 hour to this relationship. Do something to help nurture, cultivate, or affirm that relationship. This CANNOT be a digital activity – no texting, e-mailing, or Facebook messaging. Some examples include: take the time to call a relative you don’t speak to often; have a meal with an old friend; create a ritual or tradition with your significant other; participate in an activity outside of work/class with a co-worker/classmate you want to get to know better. Explain what you did, with whom, and relate the experience to class material. How did this relationship maintenance contribute to your sense of well-being? How did your friend/family member/partner/co-worker/classmate feel about the activity?
