I need some help....

OK, my schedule this semester is pretty simple. Very demanding, but simple.

Required
1. COMMS 489 -- Capstone
2. ELANG 430R -- Capstone
3. BUSM 341 -- Marketing

For Fun
1. Symphony
2. ?????? This is where I'm stuck. I don't know which class to take. Technically I don't even need to take another class, but I want to. For "fun" and for intellectual stimulation/enjoyment.

I've narrowed my options and now I need YOUR help to decide: 
1. SFL 325: Forming Marital Relationships
First, we will consider ideas and theories about why people form romantic relationships. Second, we will study the current trends in relationship formation, duration, and dissolution so that you can be a part of the dialogue that is occurring regarding intimate adult relationships in the United States. Third, we will study research on relationships by considering scientific findings about why marriages succeed and fail. Fourth, we will study the recent research that is being conducted on methods to enhance marriage relationships through educational and enrichment activities. Finally, we will consider how to integrate the information we study in this class into your belief system so that it is useful for you in your professional and personal endeavors while strengthening your beliefs in the gospel.

2. SFL 335: Family Adaptation and Resiliency
This class will cover information pertaining to how families, couples, and individuals cope and process normative and non-normative transitions and stressful events. This class is primarily about stress tied to specific events and transitions and how families process and handle that stress. We will cover topics and events that most families will encounter (death/dying, child bearing, etc) as well as topics that only some families will ace (addiction, divorce, etc). We will learn about theories, concepts, and practices that promote healthy and unhealthy responses to these stressful events. Our exploration in the class room will have us drawing from empirical articles, therapy practices and gospel teachings. I hope that through our exploration of how families cope with stressful events you will be better prepared to work with and help individuals and families. I also hope that through the intertwining of scholarly concepts and gospel principles presented in class, you will emerge with a better understanding of the Savior's love for all families and individuals. 

Which class should I take? For those of you who read my blog consistently, you know how much I LOVED my SFL 223 class (marriage prep), and that is why I want to take another School of Family Life class. I think the professors are extremely interesting and the subject matter is very relevant.

So, which class would you take and why?

Thanks!!!
