The many stages of a couple’s lifecycle can be defined in three key moments:
- First, the initial infatuation: Deeply attracted to one another, this marks the beginning of a relationship. The butterflies are alive and well and there is much excitement and enjoyment in each other’s company.
- Second, the step towards commitment: This is when couples take their relationship to the next level, with public declaration of love or involvement of their loved ones and close friends into their growing relationship.
- Finally, maturity: Couples at this stage, having gone through shared moments of good and bad together, share a deep understanding and a profound sense of comfort in their relationship.
