1. THE HONEYMOON STAGE: This is the first stage. We actually called it first stage because the two partners called couple are still new to each other and they can still tolerate so many things. They sleep together on the same bed, wear the same cloth and communicate very easily. At this stage the man is mostly in charge of the kitchen and he makes sure that his wife is satisfied in every aspect including bathing together. Sexual excitement is high and there is never an argument at this stage. Bringing coffee to the bed early in the morning is welcomed here and they tolerate themselves. They play games together, attend dinners and go out with the same outfit because they are still new to each other. No weakness is known here because they will have each other back and no flops or weakness is known. I can say that the love is still hot here, killing an ant by the woman will be difficult, calling the man is necessary since they are close to each other. If they are the working type, they tell stories about work and talk about their salaries.
2. THE WEAKNESS STAGE: This is the second stage. Little mistakes are easily noticed at this stage by the couple, the couple are getting fed up little by little. Self opinion will come out here. Most of the house chores will be done by the woman. Cooking and other house activities are outlined and individual will be assigned to which work to do. Going out together will be reduced, answering phone calls will be secretive. Salaries will be hidden from each other. Cooking must be done regularly at this stage and if the woman can't cook then that's a serious problem to the marriage.
3. THE ANNOYANCE STAGE: At this stage, they easily get anger and annoyed with a little thing. The introvert guy speak up his mind and same thing applicable to the woman. Serious of questions keep coming out like "why are we married in the first place", "who joined us together", "he or she is older than me", "am going back to my parents". Each and everyday, the love they profess at first will now be diminishing to the extent that to the couple nothing is new again since they have seen each other unclothedness.
4. THE SOLUTION STAGE: this is the fourth stage and at this stage the couple begin to know the essence of marriage. They begin to work out their differences and third party opinion is also seek for. Individual differences are noticed here. Since the couple knows their problem, opinion on how to resolve it are always welcome, changing your partner becomes easy. Problem identification and strategy to employ in other to solve it are listed out and the way out are provided but can the couple make use of it?
5. THE TOLERATING STAGE: When you realised that the only thing you can't change about your partner is her/his attitudes then you will just leave it like that and let her/him realised that you can't change the attitudes but in the midst of the flaw you still love him/her. You stay together to fight against the weakness and invite love back to the marriage because without love the family can't be strong and they are prone to collapse. Love will outshines each weakness and make the marriage stringer than what it is.
6. THE RELAXING STAGE: This is the last stage that you will allow your nerves and everything to relax. Agape love is shown between the couple in everything that they do. Loving unconditionally is make to stand here, loving in flaws, weaknesses and in pretense because you must allow peace to reign in your home so that you also will enjoy the reason for marriage and also for couple goals to be achieved. You allow God himself to reign over your marriage and be spiritual towards building an empire where your unborn child will come and stay and enjoy.
People do say that they want perfect marriage butt I will tell them that there is no perfect marriage except you yourself build your marriage with these six stages and enjoy it for better. Marriage has flaws, huddles and disappointment but don't because of that quit or look for second wife.
Like the proverb "except the Lord build the house, the builder buildeth in vain" Let God be at the centre of your marriage and you will enjoy it. Marriage should be handled with God wisdom.
