Many couples who meet for a short time, who are very good together, believe that they have real and great love. However, this belief is erroneous. Experts believe that family relationships must go through 7 life stages before true love occurs. We'll take a closer look at these stages.
The first stage of the relationship is called zifir-chocolate or, as it is also called, candy-bouquet. This period lasts approximately 18 months. At this stage, a man and a woman cannot stop looking at each other, they cannot live without each other. During this period, you should not make any serious decisions, since people are in the stage of drug intoxication.
The next stage is the stage of appeasement. This period necessarily comes immediately after the first stage. The feelings of two people are pacified, they are oversaturated with each other.
The third phase is the aversion phase. This stage is required for all long term relationships. At this stage, quarrels and scandals begin. A man and a woman in each other begin to see the same shortcomings. At this stage, most couples get divorced. Divorce is the worst and wrong way out of this situation. Once you get divorced, you enter the first stage again, only with a different person. Some people do it like that in the first three stages.
The next stage after disgust is the patience phase. Quarrels between partners are still continuing, but they are no longer so tragic. Both partners understand that after a quarrel, the relationship will be restored again.
The fifth phase - the phase of duty, or respect - is the first stage of love. Before this stage, love had not yet begun. At this stage, partners begin to understand that they owe each other something. They begin to understand and respect each other.
The sixth stage is friendship. Friendship is a serious preparation for love. Partners swear much less often, mutual understanding occurs.
The seventh and final phase is love. After going a long way of quarrels, scandals, getting used to each other, true love comes. Love is something that you go to all your life, and it is not so easy to get it. It is a reward for patience, respect and understanding. Love is like six tastes, in which there is sweet taste, and salty, and tart, and astringent, and pungent and even bitter.
If you have not gone through all seven stages of life, rest assured that love has not yet begun for you.
