Love is a rather complex feeling.

It has several stages of development.

Mistakes made by a man and a woman at one stage or another can lead to the breakdown of a seemingly strong relationship.

This explains the fact that being deeply in love with each other does not guarantee the emergence of a truly happy family.

So, what do a man and a woman go through when they start dating?

Love

The first stage is the emergence of sympathy.

The boy and the girl realize that they have fallen in love with each other.

Exciting confessions, beautiful courtship, romance - all this is associated with the first stage of a relationship.

The emergence of attachment

Then the man and woman get used to each other and stop worrying. A shared life begins.

The partner's shortcomings are not so obvious yet.

Crisis

But after some time, negative traits and unpleasant habits will still make themselves known.

Lovers will start to get irritated, quarrel, and conflict.

It is important to go through this stage correctly: look for compromises, try to accept your partner’s shortcomings.

Deep emotional connection

If the crisis stage does not lead to separation, then the man and woman become true friends or relatives.

Yes, there are no such bright emotions as at the beginning of the relationship. But there is a deep affection, which is considered true love.

For reference

Love is a feeling inherent in humans, a deep attachment and desire for another person or object, a feeling of deep sympathy.
