The beginning of a great relationship is often characterized as fun, interesting and exciting.
The initial spark and romance brings excitement about long-term potential as you enjoy new experiences together and learn about each other.
As some of the newness wears off and you get into a groove as partners, it is only natural that your relationship will change and grow. All relationships go through stages, phases and transitions.
The hope is you and your partner increase feelings of closeness and security as your relationship develops, leading to close emotional connection and love for one another.
