When you’re in a relationship with someone you care about, you’re probably not thinking of the different stages relationships go through.
Of course, when you first start seeing someone or are getting back together after a break up, it’s a completely different stage than when you’ve been together for six months or longer.
Learning the different stages of a relationship can help you know what to expect and can actually strengthen your relationship. Although relationships can be broken into many stages, there are four basic stages, which can make or break a relationship.
The first stage when you begin dating is, by far, the most exciting stage. You’re walking with your heads in the cloud, dreaming about the wonderful person you are seeing. Everything about your new partner is wonderful and your partner probably feels the same about you. You wonder why you didn’t find him or her years ago.
He or she knows exactly what to say, when to say it and is the most thoughtful person in the world. You think this person just might be someone you could fall in love with. Things are so wonderful during this stage, that it’s often called the “honeymoon stage”. Unfortunately, like everything in life, this stage does not last.
The second stage is often called the “power struggle stage”. Suddenly the newness of the relationship is wearing off and you’re noticing little things about your partner that you never realized before. This is usually the stage when couples begin to get serious about each other and the relationship – if they can deal with the imperfections of their partner.
The thing to remember is that for every flaw you’re finding in your partner, your partner is probably finding one in you a well. Step back a moment and decide how serious this flaw is to you. The best way to get past this stage is with open communication. Let your partner know how you feel and listen when they tell you how they feel. Sometimes, all it takes is a little compromise and things work out great.
The third relationship stage is when you’ve both compromised all you can (remember old habits die hard) and you have both made all the adjustments you’re capable of making. You’ve finally accepted that your partner has faults and you are willing to accept them the same as your faults are accepted. You’ve both acknowledged what the other has to offer in the relationship.
The final stage of relationships is when you’re both ready for a commitment. You’ve gotten through the honeymoon stage, power struggle stage, have accepted the good with the bad and want a future together. You’re both ready to spend a life together. Once you realize the different stages of a relationship and realize your feelings are normal, you’ll be well on your way to a happy future.
When you’re getting back together after a break up, you’re going to find you’re going through the same stages. The difference is you’re going to have to use a little more compromise and communication in stage two and three but a happy ending can be in the cards for you!
