7 stages of relationship development that will lead you to true love

Many people mistakenly believe that love is "butterflies in the stomach", passionate kisses in the rain, walks in the late evenings and endless admiration for each other. And when all this passes (and it necessarily passes), they are very upset and begin to think that "love has passed, tomatoes have withered." Then the most difficult period begins in the relationship of couples — the stage of disgust.

Now there are only two options for the development of events — either they will survive it and move to the next "level", or they will break up and repeat the same mistakes with other partners.

Read more about what stages of relationships separate people from true love, and when exactly it comes, read below. You certainly didn't expect this!

Candy-bouquet period

It is he who is so liked by all lovers. And it is him that many often confuse with true love.

During this period, young people only get to know each other, go on dates, give each other gifts, say nice words and generally have a wonderful time. In the body of men and women, hormones are produced that allow them to see the world in brighter colors.

There is no limit to happiness! Everything about a partner seems so beautiful. Even his shortcomings for some reason cause only emotion.

Caution! Do not make any serious decisions at the very beginning of the relationship, because soon you may regret them. The candy-bouquet period will sooner or later pass and come…

The oversaturation stage

At this stage, you begin to look at things soberly, at your relationship with a person, attachment is formed, former emotions and feelings gradually subside. You and your partner get used to each other, thanks to which you begin to behave more relaxed and natural.

The stage of disgust

This stage is considered one of the most difficult. This is where most couples end their relationships.

During the period of disgust, the partner's shortcomings begin to "cut" your eyes. There are quarrels and misunderstandings. It seems that the only way out of this situation will be a break.

If you do decide to break up with your lover, all these stages will repeat again in other relationships. The stage of disgust, no matter how much one would like it, cannot be avoided. The main thing is to survive, endure it, controlling your negative emotions, and then you and your partner will be able to reach a new level of relations.

Patience Stage

During this period, a man and a woman begin to acquire wisdom. Thanks to the ability to compromise, tolerance and mutual understanding, they easily manage to avoid quarrels.

And what's the point of ruffling each other's nerves if you want to be together and you know that you will? That's what the patience stage is.

The stage of duty or respect

At this stage, a man and a woman already realize that they have responsibilities to each other, and they are happy to fulfill them. There is no more "they owe me", now there is "I have to".

This stage can be safely called a "prelude" to true love. All that was before that was love and affection.

Friendship Stage

And they say that there is no friendship between a woman and a man. It happens! Still what! But it comes much later than many people think.

During this period, young people become very close to each other, share all their experiences, insults, tell secrets and communicate like the best friends of childhood. It is this period that opens the way to true love.

The stage of true love

Well, finally, you have come to the main stage. Only after visiting all the previous stages of the relationship, you can feel what true love is.

Many people think that love arises by itself, but in fact it is worth a long and hard "work" for it. Work together with your partner, give up selfishness, learn to compromise, show respect and get the same in return.

There are simply no other ways to come to this feeling. If you end a relationship with a person, being at the stage of disgust, in the hope that this will not happen with another — prepare for disappointment.

All couples inevitably go through this difficult stage and at the end of the journey receive a well-deserved reward - sincere mutual love.
