These journaling prompts are meant to stimulate your own private, interior "discussions with yourself." Your answers are FOR YOUR EYES only. This is meant as a support to help you deepen your engagement with the material in this week's module. I recommend you read the questions and write on any of them that resonate with you. Feel free to skip ones that do not resonate with you.

Question 1 of 1
Write in your journal responses to one of these, some of these, or all of these journaling prompts. Your choice. Your answers in your journal are FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
What was your reaction to learning about how much science there is to learn and apply to your marriage?
What content in this module stimulated hope for a better marriage? Why did that make you more hopeful?
How much "zero-sum" game (i.e., the only way for me to win is for you to lose) is going on in your relationship? What were you going through emotionally as you were assessing your interest in "maximizing your spouse's payoff?"
What are the things you have tried in the past that have WORKED to help get things OUT of the "nasty" box? What other ideas did you get from the content in this module about things you could do to move to "neutral" more often?
