Infatuation is falling in love with or becoming extremely interested in someone or something for a short time. If you have an infatuation with a particular singer, you probably listen to her/him on repeat all day long, at least this week.

Everyone needs friends, and you probably have always had at least one. A friend is defined as a person you know well and regard with affection, trust and respect. As you get older, some of your friendships will start to change, and some may grow deeper. You might also begin to know many more people, although not all of them will be your close friends. Chances are you will also start to spend more time with your friends, and maybe talk on the phone more. Changes in relationships are natural but not always easy.

Stages of Interpersonal Relationships
Forming Relationships
Building relationships with strangers depends on your ability of
• Coping with uncertainty and figuring out how to communicate with others
• Exploring possibility and discovering opportunities for positive experiences
Coping with Uncertainty
A primary challenge when communicating with strangers is uncertainty
• Uncertainty reduction theory: in our initial
interactions, we focus on gathering
information that help us reduce uncertainty
• Self-disclosure: sharing your characteristics,
experiences, feelings, attitudes, or beliefs
• A norm of reciprocity: matching our disclosure
to those made by the partners by topic,
quantity, and quality
Exploring Possibilities
Discovering opportunities for positive experiences
• Predicted outcome value: the reward a person expects to get from a
relationship in the future – when it is high, we are more active in creating
positive experience
• Small talks: public information, reciprocation, qualities of you that is not
too private yet set you apart from others
• Limit your self-disclosures to positive information and follow broadly held
social norms
Escalating Relationships
Transcending personal boundaries: from more social to more
personal, from less intimate to more intimate
Creating a Connection
Communicating with personal relationships
• Social penetration theory: relationship escalates as self-disclosure
increases in both breadth and depth
Open self to hidden self

Communicating with personal relationships
• Negative self-disclosure reveals vulnerability and trustworthiness
• The norm of reciprocity is replaced by responses to disclosures that
convey understanding and validation
Coordinating Behavior
Coordinate day-to-day activities
• Interdependence: relationship partners rely on each other to accomplish
their everyday goals
• Relational turbulence model: an un ...

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

10. Relationship Stages
Infatuation Stage: This is the first stage in every relationship. It almost always starts with an intense attraction and
an uncontrollable urge to be with each other. Both of you may be intensely sexually attracted to each other, or both
of you may just love each other’s company. In this stage, both of you overlook any flaws of each other and only
focus on the good side.
Understanding Stage: In this stage, both of you start getting to know each other better. You have long
conversations with your partner that stretches late into the night, and everything about your partner interests
fascinates you. You talk about each other’s families, exes, likes and dislikes and other innocent secrets, and life seems
so beautiful and romantic.
Disturbance Stage: This stage usually forces its way into a happy romance after a few months of blissful courting.
For the first time ever in the relationship, both of you confront each other over a conflict, even though it’s sorted
out quickly.
• Opinion Maker: In this stage, both of you create opinions about each other. As the months pass by, both of you
know what to expect from each other, and you make an assumption about your partner’s commitment towards the
relationship.
• Molding Stage: You have your own expectations from an ideal partner. And in this stage, both of you try hard to
mould each other to fit your own wants in a perfect partner. This stage is a lot about give and take, and both
11. Relationship Stages
partners constantly try to convince each other to change their behavior towards the relationship.
• The Happy Stage: If the relationship survives past the molding stage, both of you may have changed
equally for each other and understood each other’s expectations. In this stage, the relationship cruises
along perfectly and both of you may be blissfully happy with each other.
• Doubt Stage: It’s been several years since both of you have been in a relationship with each other.
And somewhere along the way, doubts start to creep in. The intensity of the doubts depend on how
happy both of you are in the relationship.
• Sexual Exploration Stage: This is the stage when your sex life starts to play a pivotal role. Both your
sex drives may change and one of you may get disinterested in sex.
• Complete Trust Stage: This is the final & happy stage when both of you love each other and trust
each other completely. But at the same time, the unbreakable trust in each other could also turn into
taking each other for granted.
