With the passing of time and the years, it is normal for love to transform and not be the same as at the beginning of the relationship. The passing of the years affects the physical and emotional aspect of people, transforming relationships. The love therefore continues to exist although in a different way than it was during the first years of the relationship.
In the following article we will tell you how time influences love and relationships.
The passage of time and the transformation of couple relationships
There is no doubt that the passing of the years will transform any relationship. It is normal that during the teenage years love is much more intense, more toxic and unhealthy. Over the years, love becomes much more mature and healthy in all aspects. Although the way of feeling love changes and evolves over time, the essence itself is still present, especially in those couples who consider themselves healthy.
The three phases of love according to the time elapsed
In a relationship considered healthy, three phases or stages can be distinguished: that of infatuation, romantic love and mature love.
infatuation stage
This phase of love is characterized by the passion that both people feel and by enhancing all the positive elements of the couple. Sex is quite present at this stage because there is a hormonal increase. This type of feeling when it comes to love cannot be endured continuously, so it is normal that it decreases over the years.
stage of romantic love
At this stage, love and passion are still present, although in a very conscious way. The couple is accepted as they are, both with their virtues and their defects. At this stage there must be good communication with the couple and values as important as respect or trust must be present. Problems arise and the parties must help each other in order to solve them in the best possible way. In this phase, many couples decide to end the relationship since they are unable to solve these problems, giving rise to continuous conflicts and fights.
stage of mature love
With the passage of time and the years love becomes mature. The couple is able to solve different problems together. It is a free love in which trust and respect for the other person prevail above all. The great danger of love in this type of couple is to fall into a monotony that extinguishes said flame. That is why it is important to keep it on and continue with a beautiful relationship despite the passage of time.
In short, it is normal that love is not the same at the beginning of a relationship as it is when you have been with your partner for years and years. With the passage of time love becomes much more mature and the parties give more importance to elements such as respect, tolerance or trust. In adolescent love, on the other hand, passion and sex have a real and preferential importance. The important thing in any case is to create a beautiful bond with another person in which they are respected and in which love is as healthy and free as possible.
