Falling in love evokes some of the most powerful feelings and emotions humans experience. There is no exact science to romance, but many couples often follow a similar trajectory en route to love. Couples move at different speeds through the stages of a relationship and often move back and forth through those stages. Mutual understanding and communication are crucial to having true and lasting love.
Love
Relationships begin with romance as two individuals make an effort to devote time and attention to their partner. At this point in the relationship, partners seek to satisfy their needs for love and feelings of belonging. The relationship may seem like a fantasy and both individuals may experience a sense of infatuation and passion for the other.
Conflict
At a certain point in every relationship, conflicts arise. Problems may be minor or major and how individuals deal with them are what can make or break the relationship. At this point partners may be at odds due to a power struggle and both parties may feel the need to assert their need for control or freedom.
Stability
When couples have found their bearings and developed a mutual understanding of each other's needs and wants, they reach a point of stability. Partners are able to adjust to, accept and even ambrace one another's differences. By this time boundaries are set and respected. Individuals may find peace with one another or find that they are drifting apart and terminate the relationship accordingly.
Commitment and Marriage
Once a significant level of stability has been reached and the two partners feel that they are in a secure and loving relationship, marriage is likely to become a real consideration. With complete awareness of the past and present the couple can look towards spending their lives together in the future. The couple may also decide to change the dynamic of their relationship by having children.
