The Negative Effects That Change in the Couple Can Have On the Relationship
How strong is your relationship?
There are certain changes in the couple, changes that any relationship goes through, and that is natural in its evolution. But sometimes these changes can have negative effects on the relationship between the partners, either because they were not prepared for them, or because they are afraid of the new one, or because they were simply not suitable for each other from the beginning!
Among the first changes in the couple is the step when you declare to those close to you that you are a couple! After a few weeks of dating or a month, it is normal to admit that you have a stable and monogamous relationship and to know your friends and relatives! What if everything goes well…
If a month has passed and you do not think you are ready to show your acquaintances as a couple, then something is wrong: maybe you do not want a relationship or maybe the person next to you will not make you want to get involved! What can go wrong at this stage of the relationship: your partner's friends should not "swallow" you or vice versa!
Close friends will always be a little jealous when a person comes and "steals" their good friend from them, so you have to be very careful when you first meet them! The influence of the group of friends is extremely high, so it is important to try to integrate, to be as charming as possible, and not to criticize any of his / her friends. If this first step does not go smoothly, the relationship will certainly have some problems in its evolution.
What changes in the couple are coming? The first time you make declarations of love is when one of you says "I love you"! The idea is that this statement must be sincere, not a word said just to be said! What can go wrong? Hurry up to say it and not be answered or, worse, to be answered something like: "thank you"!
That's why it's good to wait until you're sure of your feelings and relationship. Of course, "I love you" must be a spontaneous statement, coming from the heart and said with emotion, but before exposing yourself in front of the other, you have to see how he/she feels the same way!
Among the most important changes in the couple is the decision to move in together! You met, you fell in love, you got to know each other, your family and friends, you said "I love you," you formed a certain couple routine, now what remains to be done: to form a couple "on good ", to spend every morning and every evening together!
For some, this decision is made spontaneously after a few months of a relationship, for others, it takes several years! This is because this important decision is influenced by many factors: how old are you, what previous experience in relationships do you have, what are the practical possibilities and how does the relationship work? single, the comfort of having your bedroom, your bed, your own home.
It is a change that brings with it many other important changes: in the relationship, in the communication, in the intimacy between you, but also in your lifestyle. That is why both partners must consider themselves ready for this major step. What can go wrong? First of all, making this decision for the wrong reasons: for example, out of a desire to get away from the parents' house or out of a desire to have someone to cook, clean, and take care of the house!
If this change in couple happens without both of you being prepared or for the wrong reasons, then you may end up not being able to stand it anymore and pull out your white hair!
What important changes in the couple will follow, if not the engagement and after a while, the marriage! Many couples, out of a desire for spontaneity and romance, decide to get married by going over the previous stage: that of living together.
But it is not a very good decision, because it is important to experience living together for a while, at least for a few months, to see if you fit in if you get along if you don't have too many conflicts. So, the decision to get engaged should be made after a period of experimentation and after some good thinking, although it is not as romantic!
You, as a man, are the one who has to take the first step - less often a woman who asks for a man in marriage! But before you take a ring, you must be sure when you take this step, because it is a serious involvement and a promise to her! And you, as a woman, have to be as confident as you want to be when you say yes! You don't have to be influenced by shock, amazement, emotions, or the cute ring, but you have to know that you want this change!
You got engaged, after a while, you got married too: what changes in the couple can I follow? The most important thing, the one that will completely change your relationship this time, your life, and the way you perceive yourself: that of becoming a parent! It is such an important decision that you must be prepared both materially and especially emotionally because you must never have any regrets!
Becoming a mom and dad is real happiness and personal and relational fulfillment, but only when you want it and you know you are ready. You need to be aware that this event will change a lot, including the way you perceive yourself and the way you look at your partner: from lovers to parents! And your relationship must be strong enough and strong enough to withstand the difficulties of pregnancy, birth, and the appearance of the little one.
Your intimate relationship - both in terms of communication and sex - will suffer, because there is a new person between you, a person who demands your attention and your total affection! The expectant mother may experience difficulties with the physical and emotional changes that pregnancy entails, and the partner must always be there to support her.
The new father may face ambiguous feelings towards the little one, because he "steals" his girlfriend, who pays all his attention only to the baby, ignoring his partner! Therefore, this decision is one of the most intense changes in the couple, and a relationship must be harmonious, strong, and open to get through this step well.
As in the case of other changes, you need to prepare and give yourself time to get used to the idea, communicate your fears and needs, and support each other - in a word, form a team!
These mentioned changes in the couple appear sooner or later in the evolution of a couple: some even jump over stages and get married in a few months, others stay together for years until they move together!
But it is not the speed with which a relationship evolves that matters, but the way it evolves - how well you understand and communicate, how prepared you are to take a step forward, how much you love each other!
