I would be careful not to put anyone at risk in their environment that would violate their privacy. I would also look at the works of other researchers to make sure I am concluding my own ideas and not that of others.
Describe your subject population: age, gender, education, etc.
My population would consist of two groups. Couples that are male and female ranging from the age of 25 to 35 and are engaged or initiated a long term serious relationship. Their education level would be high school graduate to college graduate.
