Love stages all couples must experience
Relationship stages in your love life are those stages all long term couples go through and it always begins with infatuation through to other stages. The relationship is unique as one experience of love is never ever the same. You must have experienced several relationships in your life, and all of them seem different from your previous relationships. But they seem to be a few traits about every single relationship that binds all relationships along a definite path.

Consequently, to be candid with you no relationship that will continuously be flourishing without experiencing ups and downs and will definitely experience one of these relationship stages. These relationship stages need the patience to sail through if you really cherish your relationship. It is not always easy to identify a new stage when it comes along, especially since they can appear so different for each partner.

Some couples may go through all the relationship stages in a few months while others may take years to cycle through these stages. Most couples are always excited in the first stages of their relationship, thinking they have seen their dream partner without looking further. These relationship stages are like tests that check your compatibility with each other. You tend to see some couples who appear to be love birds at first and ended up breaking up less than a year.

The 10 relationship stages all couples must experience
Are you already in a relationship? Or are you planning on starting a new relationship with your new partner? It doesn’t matter whether your relationship is in its infancy stage or it has lasted for years because all the relationships will pass through one of these relationship stages.

You don’t know what relationship stage you’re in right now? Just follow these 10 relationship stages diligently; you’ll know which stage yours fall in and it’ll help you understand your own love life better.

Early love birds stage (infatuation stage)

This is usually the first stage in all relationships as partners tend to love each other uncontrollably with an intense attraction. Couples tend to have the mindset that they have seen their dream partner. I also call this stage the lusting stage as both partners may be intensely sexually attracted to each other, or both of you just love the intimacy and enjoy each other’s company. The romantic feeling makes you feel happy, but won’t last forever even if you want it to.

Here partners may even overlook each other’s flaw and focus only on the good sides because of the chemistry of love.

The understanding stage

This stage is very unique as both couples tend to enjoy long conversations all day, and everything about your significant other interests and fascinates you. Here couples tend to understand each other better as they are now familiar with each other. Couples keep making efforts to work on their relationships to make it more interesting and better. You both discuss each other’s likes, dislikes, families, innocent secrets, exes, and life seems so romantic and interesting.

However, the understanding stage entails both give and take, and each partner tries to change the other to suit his or her tastes. For couples to be able to get through this stage smoothly, they have to accept each other’s weaknesses and strengths. You have to learn to focus on the good aspects, let go of the bad aspects, and strive to actualize each other’s goals and dreams.

The disturbance stage

This stage usually forces its way into a happy romance after a few months of being together. In this stage couples ‘love chemicals’ fade away and they tend to return to their normal selves with normal moods and sex drive. Here couples no longer focus on each other but tend to be more involved with their daily duties and work.

Couples who are not aware of this particular relationship stage might assume they’re no longer in love. Some might even get upset on their partner not giving them adequate attention.

Have in mind that a little fight and bickering are a normal part of this relationship stage. However, confrontation is healthy to some extent as it helps partners understand things better. The ability for you both to get over confrontation and also resolve differences amicably helps make your relationship mature.

Also, things like sex drives detest you as you’ll be wondering why that of your significant other doesn’t match yours, or why you anger your partner more now.
