Be sure to write a thoughtful and reflective paper, therefore, take some time to analyze how your particular project has been related to the topics that you chose and what you have learned through completing your project. Be creative, too, when appropriate.

It is most important that you follow the directions in the paragraph above and address all the points for your project. The set page limit is 6 - 7 pages in length with a maximum of 10 pages if needed to write a thorough paper. This page count DOES NOT include the title page, the appendix (Appendix A
= your interview questions & Appendix B = consent forms), and your reference page.

TOPIC: Marriage Interviews: Happily Ever After...
You will do a mock interview of two married persons, from two separate relationships (i.e., not 2 people from the same couple), who have been married different lengths of time (i.e., one newly married and another that has been married for a significant number of years). Your interview would focus on the "ingredients" (behaviors, characteristics, attributes) that each married individual believes to be important in maintaining a marriage. In your mock discussion of the interviews, you will be expected to compare/contrast how each of the two couples have described which factors help to sustain a happy marriage.
You are expected to create an interview protocol outlining questions that will be discussed during the interviews. It is wise to make sure your interview questions focus on concepts as you will need to use concepts in your paper. Each interview should last approximately 20-45 minutes. You must submit your paper to Turnitin. I must receive the project paper PRIOR TO OR ON the due date. Make sure the project paper's title page follows APA guidelines.

Questions to be added:
Why did you get married?
How did you marry? (religious ceremony, civil ceremony)? Do you recognize your spouse's love language?
How do you recognize your spouse's non-verbal communication of when they are angry, worried, or happy?
