Relationship is not a rocket science neither are there chemical compounds you react to produce a beautiful relationship. There are basically five stages every relationship passes through:

The first is called the Attraction stage: Every relationship pass through this stage. This is where you only focus on the good things and similarities between each other. You spend a lot of time together and imagine you are made for each other. You avoid fights and it seems nothing will ever cause fight between both of you.

The second stage is the Realization stage: You start finding flaws in your partner. It doesn't mean you don't love each other but things are not as beautiful as in the beginning. You start fighting and doubting if you're really in love. The romance or spark in the relationship seems to be declining.

3. The third stage is the Anger stage: Little or inconsequential issues tends to make you angry. It is at this stage you think of breaking up and leaving each other and blame each other for no reasons.

4. Stage four is Acceptance:

You become certain that both of you are totally different personalities and you have different qualities and flaws but still you have accepted each other. You come to the realization that things cannot be run in the fantasy world for a lifetime. There comes a time when you have to act with maturity.

The final stage is Commitment

You get to understand each other better with time. You also know everything about each other and this sets up a thought in your heart that you don't need anyone in your life as partner. You have fallen in love with your partner forever and this is the most honest and genuine thing in a relationship.

There are lots of small but heartfelt ways to tell your special one just exactly how you feel without having to verbalize it, and you can cater it to their love language so they're sure to pick up what you're putting down.

These are the ways people express and receive love. Allow yourself and your partner to live your way, happily ever after.

 

1. Giving gifts

Not necessarily based in materialism as you may think, this love language is about the thought and meaning that goes into giving and receiving gifts.

Surprise your special one with tickets to a concert or event you know they would love. Pay attention to the things they mention they want by keeping a secret list on your phone.

Then, when their birthday or a holiday comes along, you have the perfect gift ideas that you know they will love, but will also show you’re paying attention.

 

2. Quality time

Rather than clock watching, this love language is about the quality moments spent together. If you have a demanding job or life commitments and can’t spare very much time, don’t stress.

Quality time individuals don’t necessarily need a lot of attention. They want to see your actions, specifically how you prioritize making time to spend with them and focusing on the relationship.

Make a reservation for dinner somewhere special, just for the two of you, set some time aside every night where you both put your phones away and just catch up on your day.

 

3. Words of affirmation

This way of loving uses words to express care and affection. Small articulations of appreciation and adoration are the key to this love language. Statements such as “thank you for cooking this delicious meal” or “you look amazing today” are the things that make these people tick.

For folks whose love language is words of affirmation, compliments are the most effective way to communicate how you feel, so use your words.

 

4. Acts of service

Usually, it’s not just sending money or giving cheques but providing certain services when your partner needs it most. All you have to do is to place meaning on taking care of something so that your partner doesn’t have to.

 

5. Physical touch

For people who talk this love language, actions such as holding hands, a back rub, a kiss, a hug and sex are all significant expressions of love.

Depending on the type of relationship, varying levels of physical interactions, with consent, are essential. The absence of cuddles and other touch-based expressions of affection can leave people who receive love this way feeling isolated and unloved.
