Integrate a repeated bargaining game model into a Monte Carlo simulation to forecast long-term relationship stability under different rulesets.

Use an agent-based model to simulate the evolution of norms in a community of couples with different interaction strategies.

Construct a Bayesian Network to map the probabilistic relationships between negotiation tactics, partner selection, and relationship outcomes.

Develop a case study analyzing a fictional or historical relationship dynamic using the game-theoretic tools from the course.

Critically evaluate the limitations and assumptions of applying rational game theory models to complex human emotional dynamics.
