The Phases of a Relationship Part Three: Stability Phase

In the last phase, I discussed how couples will see the phase as more chaotic with a lot of problems. However, in this phase most couples will tend to ease out the problems and begin to make things work. If you can make it through the last phase, you might have what it takes to make things go in the right direction. As a couple, you begin to realize that you have had a past with each other for quite some time now. There are times where you have been through the ups and downs and perhaps a bit more to come. You’re now at a point where the past is the past. Now you’ve accepted the fact that nothing will ever be what it used to be, nor will anything come in between. Another thing is that you’re used to your partner already. You know exactly what to expect of him, her, and the relationship. But since you’re used to your partner, and know what to expect, you have the connection built within. The love is deeper even when you don’t feel it as much as you did in the Honeymoon phase. The conflicts that may come in the future can and will be resolved. This is the phase where you begin to see the “true” relationship begin. This is the phase where you grow your relationship and take it to a new beginning. The real work begins here in this stage. Everything from loyalty to trust begins. The foundation is now officially stronger. So why exactly is this the stability phase? Because you’re stabilizing your relationship. In order for your relationship to be strong, it must have a strong foundation where everything is simply connected and established. Everything seems to be clear at this point. Boundaries are clear, and so are the bumps….Don’t ever stop to build the relationship even if you have gotten bored or too comfortable. Continue to keep pressing forward. The more you progress, the stronger the relationship. Let it grow and stabilize.
