Five stages in a relationship

For all those 20 year olds, hmm ... may not be necessarily. For all those getting into, being torn apart in, trying to mend or feeling blissful in a relationship, this is for you, the five stages in a relationship. This is not completely original, got inspired when I was reading an article.

1. Butterflies - Excited about similarities, thrilled to see, talk and think about your person
Best illustration: You check mail / text now and then to see if there is something from that person
What to do: Just enjoy

2. Differences - Euphoria dies down, you are disappointed at differences
Best illustration: You feel the excitement of travel is getting lost in the processes of immigration
What to do: Dedicate some time for just the two of you

3. Questions - Routine takes over, trust is being threatened from multiple platforms, most relationships break here
Best illustration: You question yourself if it was the right decision
What to do: Think about what brought you together in the first place

4. Stability - You feel secure in the relationship, you begin to accept the differences
Best illustration: You realize you are both different individuals and have to be different
What to do: Keep building the bond and try complementing each other

5. Commitment - Congratulations, very difficult to fall apart after this
Best illustration: You no longer miss the romantic stage, you think this cannot be any better
What to do: You can now advise people on relationships or just sit back and enjoy yours
