Knowing the process in a marriage lets you understand the spot where you along with your partner are near, so it helps explain what could appear to be puzzling behaviors. They make a road map towards a healthy relationship. It does not matter how long you've been in a relationship; most of them fit in these six stages:
The idealization stage
During this initial stage each partner are hoping to get along and please one another; you both are trying to make things work out. At that stage, neither of you will have seen your respective bad sides since you'll have both showed only your best sides. This is the place where we usually are in love, and see only the best qualities of the partner.
The landing stage
At this stage each of you start observing the differences between the two individuals. Conflicts start arising but it surely is often handled fast. Within this stage, the partners either manage this or it will lead to breaking up.
The molding stage
Both partners accept and appreciate each other's weaknesses; they avoid using of force and give up the mentality of love without struggle. This stage is all about the balance of "to give" and "to get".
Happy stage
At this stage the relationship survives the previous molding stage and each partner relax their boundaries and accept that they may never change the other partner. They start giving one another mutual respect in addition to a deeper love ensues.
The resurfacing stage
Couples give up to reality and accept that relationships can have their shortcomings too. Here they figure out how to love each other and truly feel their connection. It can be indication that you are both prepared to commit long term together.
Trust stage
This is basically the final stage; your trust to each other at this moment becomes unbreakable. Couples begin working on projects together, and they also become a real team; this is certainly apparent for everybody around.
Imagine that you experience some difficulties at one of these stages.
Communication is a vital thing here. Pay attention to your second half; let him/her speak first without interrupting thus air out your issues. You recognize that may be sometimes you feel different and have different points of view on many things. Always try to find a way to understand your partner's point of view or opinion instead of trying to change him or her.
Hope it is more clear now what point your relationship are at, and when you do I'm sure this knowledge may help you find the best partner!
