5 STAGES OF LOVE RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD YOU TO HAPPINESS- YES OR NO?
How do you define relationship? Relationship is the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected. Relationship comes in different forms. Be it with family, friends or loved ones. I am sharing about my thoughts about the 5 stages of love relationships on today’s post. There are 5 predictable relationship stages that lead to the happiness path or we called it happily ever after. Yes or No?
1. Romance Stage
Some called it the drug addiction phase where both couple fall in love deeply. The reason being said a romance stage is because beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. You are perfect person to each other and lovey dovey at all times. And of course, when you are deeply in love, you don’t see each other’s flaws.Usually this period will last for months or 1-2 years depending on how you manage your relationship. Mine lasted for 1 year pass before I moved on to the second stage.
2. Power Struggle Stage
Once relationship reaches the Power Struggle stage, this starts to change. This is also where my previous relationship ends. There are no longer ‘perfect’ flaws and relationship is no longer like fairy tales. This applies when you are dating or being in marriage situation. Couples who ended this stage often lead to break up (which happened to me) or divorced and even end up finding more compatible partner. This explains why the divorce happens and there is a demand on Singapore divorce lawyer.
The ultimate goal to pass through this stage is to establish a mutual understanding and emphasize on communication to break through the gap between each other. I trust that both need to have their own private space rather than having push factors all the time.
3. Stability Stage
Once you are good at the power struggle stage, the relationships will grow deeper and stronger. However, every relationship needs maintenance. So, here comes the stability! You have learnt the hard way and clear with what both you and your partner want in this relationship. Both need to learn mutual respect. The peace and stability require growth in relationship. This is how you bloom your relationship into a beautiful flower.
4. Commitment Stage
Not everyone is willing to be in this stage especially the Y generations. In commitment stage, you need to surrender to the reality and work out with your partner in every aspect. Some take it as a burden and some gladly hold on to it and work it out with their partner. This is all about the person’s personality and the actual marriage starts here. So, are you ready to enter this stage?
5. Bliss Stage
In this stage, you will experience the blissful stage where your relationship works out beautifully. You have a family of your own, your husband/ wife are so caring, you have a new member in the family and you start to appreciate things around you. You learned to love each other and having each other is all you need at this point of time. But not everyone has a happily ever after ending. Arguments do come into picture in your daily life. Couples need to nurture the relationship and keep it going. When one of them fails / give up, break-ups and divorce will be the last resort. Finding good divorce lawyer comes into the picture.
Thus, being a relationship / marriage is similar like managing a portfolio. Individual needs to nurture and put in effort to make things work out. There isn’t a best solution for everyone and all depends on how both couples manage and handle it.
