how long is the 'honeymoon period'?

Question

how long do you wait before you know that this really is love and it is going to last?

Answer 1

part of the initial attraction between a couple is pure lust and chemistry, and you actually get a physical buzz from being in their presence ... pheromones and all that. That does not last, sadly, but in nature its purpose is to bring a man and woman together to mate and conceive a child.
Some people cannot accept this doesn't last and think that it is love (it isn't) and therefore chop and change relationships all the time, seeking that same buzz. They are misled by thinking that you have to feel 'high' all the time to be in love.
Real love is actually an understanding and acceptance between you, it's when the power battles between you have finished and you have both accepted your place in the relationship and feel absolutely utterly comfortable, safe and secure with the other. You can trust them absolutely and feel like you have your best friend at your side. Your stomach may not flip over in excitement any more when you see them, but when you talk about them you feel warm inside, and good about yourself as well.
To get to this stage takes time and commitment and hard work. Being able to apologise when you are in the wrong, accepting that your partner has irritating faults and isn't perfect. But when you get to that stage, where you feel utterly committed to each other, then that is true love. And it is priceless, utterly priceless, the best feeling in the world.
For me, this came about 3 years into my relationship with my husband and we have been together for 30 years, and it just gets better and better. During that time many of my friend's marriages have broken up, since they just couldn't get past that initial 'blip' of finding your feet with each other.
Good luck, I hope you find this kind of love.

Answer 2

the "honeymoon period" varies greatly from relationship to relationship. for some it is a month or the first few months. for others it may be the 1st few years, and for those really lucky relationships the honeymoon period never ends.

You should be able to tell when the lust ends and the love begins but the key to any relationship is to never let the honeymoon period die. Keep it at heart. Easier said than done but will keep the relationship strong, happy, and long lasting.

Answer 3

There is no pre defined period as such. It all depends on how you want to take it. You can make your entire life feel like a honeymoon.

Understanding each other and making the best (not beast) out of it. In between definitely some beasts would come up to spoil your honeymoon. But tackle it in your own smart way.

that's that heat and fuzzy feeling that the two considered one of you have jointly as attending to be attentive to one yet another greater suitable. pay attention for the downfall - it won't final extremely some months. much less - in case you reside up all night frequently and tell one yet another each and every thing.

Answer 5

The period of emotion beyond the level of reason ability.Since emotion can not last ever it is better to shorten the honey moon period for good sake.
