I found the discussion on mate selection very interesting. Being 28 I have witnessed a vast amount of both constructive and destructive games. When I was 24 I was engaged. There were a lot of destructive games played which hindered us from really connecting on the level we needed. Learning from this experience and reading about it and the class discussion helps me get a concrete grasp of what games really are. Like we discussed in previous chapters on family systems. The only way to overcome a pattern is to recognize it and change the actions. In a professional setting recognizing what constructive or destructive games are being played and working on changing the behaviors will help couples break through the cycle.
