Young&Sexy21 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 What exactly is the honeymoon phase of a relationship? How long does it typically last? How does one make a successful transition from the honeymoon phase into a fulfilling relationship?
alphamale Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 What exactly is the honeymoon phase of a relationship? thats when the relationship is new and both people are lovey dovey and oblivious to the world around them. Lots of lust and sex and all that.... How long does it typically last? Anywhere from a week to 5 years but the generally accepted average is around a year or two... How does one make a successful transition from the honeymoon phase into a fulfilling relationship? whomever figures that out will make billions
Lauriebell82 Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 What exactly is the honeymoon phase of a relationship? its when u are extremely lovey dovey with each other in ur own little world. u fall so hard that u cant find anything wrong with ur SO other and see them through rose colored glasses. How long does it typically last? depends on the couple..some couples are out of the honeymood phase right away, sometimes it takes longer. for me and my bf, it lasted about 4-5 months. u know its over when, as someone posted in another thread, u can name 3 annoying things about ur SO. How does one make a successful transition from the honeymoon phase into a fulfilling relationship? hmm let me know if u figure out that answer..its tough. u have to be compatable and be very in love instead of very in lust.
Aloros Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I think it usually runs somewhere between 3-6 months. Being in a LDR can really stretch out the honeymoon period, I think. And if you spend 24/7 with a person, their full personality become clear pretty quickly, along with all their annoying quirks. I think a successful transition from honeymoon phase to fulfilling relationship first involves keeping the romance alive. I think couples need to continue doing fun and interesting things together - not just sit in front of a tv every night. It keeps things alive and helps you bond. In other words, don't stop dating one another! Get away for a weekend, take a dance class together, go somewhere new, volunteer for the same activity, etc. Another thing I think is important is to accept the other's flaws. No one is perfect, and I often find that a personality trait that creates something I might consider a flaw also contributes to the things I love about a person. For example, my bf is easily annoyed by other people, situations, traffic, etc. His outspoken annoyance, however, also makes him a less passive-aggressive person. If something bothers him, he has no hesitation about telling me (or anyone else!). This is one of the things I really love about him. I like a man that stands up for himself and feels comfortable telling me what he's feeling (and feels comfortable enough to call me up to vent!).
