The End of The Honey Moon

Aaah a new relationship can be a great time. The beginning stages are typically referred to as "the honey moon" stage. When you first meet there are long talks, passionate kisses, lots of hugs, in depth talks exploring one anthers soul and so on and so on. But what happens after that comes to an end? The two of you are comfortable or maybe for just one of you the newness of the relationship has worn off. 

This is a time when creative thinking and resilience of the two people in the relationship is CRUCIAL! As a couple you have the foundation already but now is the time to continue to build on that relationship. In order to grow together, you have to share life experiences together. Relationships require work, lots of work. For example, when you're working on a team project at work you have to communicate. Thats how you reach your goal and complete the tasks along the way to get there. 

When people become comfortable with one another, they forget to remind each other of what made them attracted to each other, what they cherish most about one another, and what has kept them with one another. Humans, not matter how unselfish, crave validation. No one wants to feel like the high school out cast who said to the cool kids, "Hey would you hang out with me?" At times one may feel like that. 

No matter how much a barrel of fun you may feel you are, if your significant other doesn't look at the time spent together as something they enjoy but more as a chore can be a blow to someones ego. Does this happen because the time spent is taken for granted? Does the honey moon end because one of you has become bored with the relationship? Whatever the answer may be in various situations, ALL relationships go through high and low points. Hopefully the bond, attraction, connection, and love is strong and genuine enough to withstand these times!
