You can learn more about yourself and your relationships by observing others. Rent a movie (choose from the list below) about relationships. Take some time to think and write about how you experienced the movie and what you learned from it. Include which characters you identified with and which you found troubling. Then make a date with a close friend and tell them about your experience of the movie. Talking about relationship issues helps improve your insight into your own feelings about yourself and your relationships.
