Let's look at the main stages of the relationship between a man and a woman:
Falling in love: a "candy-bouquet" period, the duration of which is several months. This life span is filled with passion and romance. The vast majority of people, because of the abundance of different feelings, distinguish this particular phase of development. Falling in love can be described as a feeling of interest, which eventually develops into attraction. The main difference between these feelings and true love is that the partners show an obsession with each other, which has a vivid expression. The time spent away from each other is perceived as a real test. According to experts, such a condition is provoked by an increased synthesis of hormones in the body.
Satiety: At this stage, the love completely disappears, giving way to a critical attitude. A man and a woman begin to look for flaws in each other. The disappearance of passion leads to the fact that partners begin to pay more attention to their own needs. It is important to note that the interest in the second half does not disappear completely. Many people who are faced with such a "problem" for the first time are trying to find a way to rekindle the former flame. Of course, it is quite possible to return passion to the relationship, but it will soon disappear again. The importance of this step of the pyramid is explained by the fact that the body needs rest and rest from the constant excitement caused by an increase in the hormonal background.
Rejection: To begin with, it should be noted that not all married couples face this stage. Having reached this stage of development, partners begin to analyze their choice. Unfortunately, only a part of people approach the analysis of their partner with a "sober" look. Most often, increased attention is paid only to the shortcomings of the person who is nearby, which leads to the question of continuing the relationship. This stage is of particular importance, because a man and a woman must show wisdom and patience. Otherwise, there is a great risk of being disappointed in a person and destroying everything that was built.
Tolerance: the stage of a relationship between a man and a woman, at which the partners accept each other's shortcomings. It is at this stage of development that the realization of the simple fact comes that each person is unique and it is impossible to completely redraw his consciousness. Tolerance is manifested in the form of a lack of attempts to find the advantages and disadvantages of a person who is nearby. At this stage of the relationship, the partners get to know each other's soul, opening up to their loved ones from the most unexpected sides. Despite the fact that the image of the ideal partner can be destroyed, a person gets the opportunity to see a person next to him, who is characterized by various problems.
Service: After studying your partner from different sides, a person begins to serve him. Service is expressed in defending not only one's own worldview, but also the point of view of partners. At this stage of the development of interpersonal relationships, a person learns to give himself without demanding anything in return. Having reached this stage of development, a person begins to perform his actions for the sake of love, and not in order to achieve reciprocal actions.
Mutual respect: In order to really get to know a person, you need to fully know all the facets of his personality. Mutual respect is manifested in the form of respect and gratitude for the very existence of a person. Having reached this stage of development, men and women stop demanding different values from each other. The very presence of a person in life is perceived as the greatest gift. At this stage, the evaluation of advantages and disadvantages stops, which allows us to achieve complete trust and mutual understanding.
Love: the psychology of the relationship between a man and a woman characterizes as a moderate immersion of people in each other. A person who is nearby becomes a source of happiness, joy and inspiration. People who have reached this stage begin to appreciate each other for the fact that they were able to overcome various life obstacles and remain true to their own principles. It is at the very top of the pyramid that the souls of people unite into a single whole, which makes their hearts beat in unison.
