Web Lecture - Relationship turning points

One topic that was mentioned in the web lecture was about relationship turning points. Every relationship has a turning point at some time. In fact, many relationships have many turning points. A relationship turning point is when there is a change to be brought within the relationship, such as moving in with each other, the day decide to become intimate, the day to get married, the day for divorce, the day the first born child moves out. There is several points of turning points in a relationship of any kind. Research studies the kinds of turning points, the reactions to the turning points and how one person moves on from the turning point. Each person reacts differently to the various turning points in a relationship and it is important to acknowledge that yes this is a turning point in this relationship, now what am I going to do with this turning point? Am I going to enjoy it or regret it? Such as moving in with someone who you have been dating (or even just a best friend)... will you regret the decision to move in, or will this be the best decision? Each turning point should be assessed carefully, acknowledged and accepted. Turning points are important parts of our lives. So obviously we have to make the best of them.
