Most serious relationships start out with bells and whistles. Each partner is madly in love with the other and can not wait to see them... and cuddle... and talk till the wee hours of the morning together... sound familiar? I bet it does.

Look, this lovey dovey stuff dies down - even in the best of relationships. I can say that I truly love my Fiance, and yes, we used to lie in bed and chat for hours about, well, nothing really, just sappy new couple stuff. We were new to each other and were falling in love with each other, so we were just excited to know as much about each other as possible in the shortest amount of time.

The problem is, new couples are so focused on getting to know the other (and even impressing the other) that they fail to see any downside or incompatibilities in the relationship. Believe me, they are there, but they can not be seen with "love blinders" on.

Well, then the "little things" start creeping into the relationship...

After some time goes by, couples may notice things starting to creep into their relationship that bother one or the other, that were not there before. They may notice that the "newness" of the relationship has worn off. What used to be cute or silly to one partner is now aggravating and rude. Even arguing may start to creep in with its ugly head.

Does this mean a break up is coming?

Now, every situation is different, but it certainly does not have to lead to a break up. Each partner must understand the different stages of relationships. These stages do not necessarily have to have anything to do with incompatibility or falling out of love, but more so to do with relationship dynamics between a man and women.

Many loving relationships end prematurely because one (or both) partners mistake arguing for needing to break up. Unfortunately, these same folks usually go their whole lives searching for something they may have already had, but just did not have the knowledge to recognize.
