Have you ever been in a relationship for more than 1 year? Hasn’t it happened to you that there’s a point where you start relaxing more around your partner, and you barely want to put on any makeup and stop worrying about grooming in general? The secret behind all these is that the crush just lasts for around 2 to 4 years.
However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that after this time you have to split. There are couples who manage to stick together for longer and there are others who don’t, but why? The perfect word to describe this is “reinventing”. You have to reinvent the relationship every now and then to keep the fire burning!
There’s a big difference between “a crush” and “love”. A crush is the first stage of love where you see your other significant as perfect, and you often describe the sensation as being drugged because you will do whatever it takes to please them, meanwhile love is what you develop after 2 years when you deeply care about your partner, and confidence between each other starts to grow.
At the very beginning relationships are shallow but too intense, and over time, it starts to change to the opposite. At this point you should have built a strong a structure in terms to make the connection lasts.
The general rules have shown that average relationships last for 4 and a half years, it changes from one person to another and there are cases where people have been together for the rest of their lives. As long as Eros/intimacy exist everything is possible!
