My input will be bolded and underlined.

Choose a close, interpersonal relationship to analyze. This may be a family relationship, a
friendship or a romantic relationship. You may choose a relationship that is currently
ongoing or one that has ended. Remember, you will be discussing this relationship in detail. : I chose my Mother. Her name is Helen and we are very close. I am the youngest of four children so I have had a good amount of time alone with her which has contributed to our closeness.

Choose 5 subtopics to discuss within your paper. The following are common subtopics:
These are the 5 I chose:
5. Love Styles
6. Self-disclosure
8. Conflict
9. Power
10. Relational Transgressions &
Repair

ASSIGNMENT: A complete, detailed outline. If you choose this option you should outline your
entire paper, from start to finish – essentially I want to see a roadmap of where you
plan to go in the final draft. You should include your introduction paragraph (and
thesis), all five subtopics (and a brief description of the content and course
concepts/terminology that you plan to include for each subtopic) and your
conclusion paragraph. If you choose this option, you should make sure to include
detail about your particular relationship – don’t just include definitions or generic
information. For example, if you choose the Dialectical Tensions subtopic, you
should include what specific tensions play/played a role in your relationship, and
how they manifested in your relationship (specific examples). You should maintain
the visual framework that is typically used in an outline.

Incorporation of at least two of your scholarly journal articles. You must show how and
where you plan to integrate this source, and should cite it both parenthetically and on your
Reference page. You will be graded on appropriate use of APA citation style.

This is what will be due in a few weeks, I will resubmit when the final paper is due, but just for context this is what the outline is needing to result in. If you would like to complete both the outline and the paper now, I can double the total after seeing it, however, the outline is what is needed now. NOT NEEDED, ONLY FOR CONTEXT: Write a 5 – 8 page paper analyzing the relationship (through the subtopics). You should
structure this paper as a formal analysis/essay, including an introduction paragraph (which
should include: an attention grabbing opening statement, what relationship you chose to
analyze, why you chose that relationship, a thesis, etc.) and a conclusion paragraph (including
a summary of the main points and strong closing statement), along with detailed and
substantive development of your five subtopics. You may use subheadings if you’d like.
