Answer to Question 1

Answer: Students should discuss four of the following:
1. Positive framing: When your partner asks you to do something, say what you can do rather than what you cannot do or don't want to do. Say,I'd enjoy playing tennis, NOT I don't want to go hang out with your boring friends again
2. Express appreciation: Say,Thanks for doing the dishes vs. You missed one
3. Avoid silent treatment: Say something when arriving, leaving, or going to bed.
4. Don't be a psychopest. Don't analyze your partner's behavior as a guise for being a critic. Hmm, that's just like your mother's behavior.
5. Speak for yourself, not your partner. Don't say,I know YOU'D enjoy a moviesay I'd really enjoy a movie.
6. Say it directly. Don't say,Do you want to eat out? when you're thinking I'm dying to eat Mexican food.
7. Nothing nice to say? Then keep quiet.
