4. Romance, becoming a couple
From strangers to a romantic couple, this is probably the sweetest evolution of relationships. At this phase, you build a sense of togetherness. You even overlook your differences and difficulties. You feel like everything is just perfect. It’s like living in a dream and you just want to cuddle with your partner whole day. You can talk about absolutely nothing for hours and still, you won’t feel bored. A hug by your partner can kill all your worries and problems at this stage.
5. We’re Happy Together
After you have been with your partner for a while, you both are best friends now. You’ve made it through good times and bad times, you trust each other. Yes, you know you’re both not perfect but you accept what you are, with love and affection. You like each other just the way you are normally. You grow to learn when one of you is upset and you know how to make your partner happy.
Congratulations! If you’ve reached this stage – this is what love is all about.
6. Emotional attachment/ Unconditional acceptance
A mature love relationship needs commitment, partnership, and even children. In this phase, you know both positive and negative traits in your partner, and you already have decided that you want to build a life together and perhaps get married. Confrontation is most likely to occur in this stage of love and you will either stay committed to a healthy love relationship or decide to call it quits.
