4 Stages of a Relationship The Romance Stage Rose colored glasses with hopes for the future and fantasies of success…a belief that we can do it

4 Stages of a Relationship The Power Struggle Stage –We become aware of our differences. –We’ve traded in those rose colored glasses for clear zoom lenses. –Will there be a future?

4 Stages of a Relationship The Stability Stage –Freedom and choice –It is finally clear that you are not going to reshape your partner. –Clear boundaries are determined –You may experience a sense of loss as you realize that dreams are not necessarily a reality –After the power struggle stage you feel older and wiser. –This is a resting time. The war is over and its time to relax and enjoy your relationship.

4 Stages of a Relationship The Commitment Stage –You are comfortable with each other and are making clear choices about working together –You understand the differences and similarities and have decided to move forward –You have consciously chosen to be partners.
