​The 5 Stages Of Love – Sadly, Many Couples Separate At Stage 3

Does your love persist after stage 3?

The beginning of a new relationship can feel like a waterfall of excitement, adventure, and passion. Relationships go through five stages, and stage three is when relationships often head toward the offramp.

If your love can persist past stage three, and onto stages four and five, you will emerge with a stable, secure, and honest relationship. Knowing these stages are normal and expected can help you to navigate through them.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. – Lao Tzu.
