PART ONE: Should the Honeymoon Phase Go Away?

Real fam, do you think the honeymoon phase should keep going when someone values you?

[godsgirl]

Relationships go through hardships but I ain't settling for no loveless relationship.

[KamalMorales]

Yes Jeannie. It does not mean materialistic things. And TAM is right, COMMUNICATE your love language at the beginning!

[Nnnnnnnn]

Y’all clapping, but let’s be realistic. The honeymoon phase is when you first start dating and you swear this person is sooo perfect you always wanna be with them, but when you be together for a good minute you see their flaws. You don’t stop loving them you just not 25/8 affectionate sometimes you agree at each other and the next minute back in the honeymoon phase.

I think when people say “ you’re in the Honeymoon phase “ it just means all those things you’re doing now will eventually die down... it doesn’t mean the love or chemistry isn’t there anymore, it’s just that those sweet things won’t be as consistent or persistent as it was when you first started... however, most people in a relationship or a marriage have to be willing to make it work and keep doing those things instead of letting it die down !

I think Jeanie is the only one who ever has a real response.

yesterday, I was reflecting on deep love based on my experience. My hubby and I, got married 22 years ago. We still are going through the phase where, there is not a single day that I am not feel love and very special. We called each other at our lunch break and if it should happen that I couldn't accept his call, it feel like my heart is not whole and he says the same. We never even think about society pressure since we are from different " race". It made me smile when people reminds us. I feel like honey moon phase exist only if you are not with your soulmate. My hubby and I knew from the second day we met that we found our forever.

I agree with Jeannie with this - I think when a relationship is new, we want to prove ourselves all the time with say, notes, always checking in, etc but as time goes by, we develop a deep trust where we know that, that person will be there no matter what and so we develop a more mature partnership where love becomes not having to ask them where they are all the time, giving them space to grow, letting them have their independence and own time. We go from proving ourselves to "you have proved yourself therefore I will trust you, therefore I will give you your space". The important thing is that you grow and trust together otherwise giving the other person space can seem like going cold, being less affectionate to the other who isn't ready or there yet. It's important to grow together.

When two people meet each other, they will occasionally have misunderstandings, but hide their true feelings. This is masked when you are in the early stages of your relationship because you are afraid to hurt your partner. Thus, honey moon phase. Eventually, you are no longer afraid to express yourself to your partner. Thus, end of honeymoon phase. The key to maintaining a Happy and Healthy relationship is to remember to express yourself with the intention of love and growth. Learn to apologize even when you think you are right. It goes a long way.

Adrienne is really trying to make them talk about more matured things and I love that.!! 🙌🏻❤️

Loni sipping tea when ade talks about the honeymoon phase haha. It’s not normalizing sadness but it means all the extra stuff dies down. As long as you build it back up you’re good. Get it?

[kimwright]

I think that we don’t enjoy all that a relationship can be with someone because we focus too much on the honeymoon phase.I find the joy in comfortability and stability that comes the longer your with someone fantastic.Jeannie is saying what I mean here.

[azanajandol]

jeanie was speaking facts there at the end love

[JazzeB]

The honeymoon phase to me is the phase before you really get to know a person. You love everything they do and say and it’s before you have to work through those real tough problems that you go through.

Adrienne: *slow claps

Me: *searching how the Flamingo from The Masked Singer claps

😂😂😂

The phase gonna end if you believe you still on vacation and not gonna try to work

[nehapatel]

All made great points. I think you may walk out of a honeymoon phase into something new or possibly even better. We can accept that there is a honeymoon phase, but its ending is not always bad (change for the better) and it's not a choice to keep it a certain way. Things just happen to evolve. There are some things that need to remain constant in life, whatever you want to call it.
