What does this scene, which follows a significant fight and possible breakup, demonstrate about Knapp's Stage Model of Relationa
l Development? Every couple goes through every stage of the model in order. Couples might go back and forth between different stages of the model over time. Once a couple begins to come apart, there is no way for them to repair the relationship and return to a satisfying relationship. Once a couple goes through all five of the stages of coming together, their relationship is guaranteed to work for life.
