A relationship is a whole person!! Reflections on our two month blessing!!

I just think a relationship is like a child. As humans, we go through many different stages in life, from birth to adulthood. In many ways, a romantic relationship between two people can be similar to this journey. Just as a child grows and develops over time, a couple's relationship can evolve and mature as well. I mean from birth a relationship is so delicate and needs tender care like and sensitivity. This stage is so critical and should not be undermined.

When a couple first meets, it's often a time of excitement and wonder. This could be considered the "birth" of the relationship. Much like a newborn child, the relationship is full of potential, and there's a sense of anticipation about what the future might hold. Oohh man the butterflies, the constants calls and chats. The overwhelming thought of love.

As the relationship progresses, the couple begins to get to know each other on a deeper and intimate level. This is the equivalent of the toddler stage in a child's life. There are ups and downs, fights, rebellion, misunderstandings, disagreements, sickness (some minor and some life threatening) as the couple learns to navigate the challenges that come with being in a committed relationship. They begin to build a foundation of trust and understanding that will be important throughout the relationship.

As the couple grows together, they may face challenges that are similar to those faced by teenagers. This is a time when the relationship is more complex, and there may be more pressure to make decisions that will have a lasting impact. Communication becomes more important, as the couple learns to work through disagreements and find common ground.

Eventually, the relationship matures into its adult stage. This is when the couple has built a solid foundation of trust and understanding, and they are able to navigate the challenges of life together with confidence. They have learned to support each other, to communicate effectively, and to work through any obstacles that may arise.

Of course, just like with children, every couple's journey is unique. Some couples may move through these stages quickly, while others may take longer to reach adulthood. However, one thing is certain: just like with a child, it takes time, effort, and patience to help a relationship grow and thrive.

So, what can couples do to help their relationship mature and develop over time? Here are a few tips:

1. Communication is key: Make an effort to communicate openly and honestly with your partner. This means listening as well as talking.

2. Build trust: Trust is essential in any relationship. Be honest and reliable, and follow through on your commitments.

3. Embrace change: Just like with a child, relationships change over time. Embrace these changes, and be willing to adapt as needed.

4. Celebrate milestones: Just like with a child's milestones, celebrate the important moments in your relationship. Whether it's a special anniversary or a major accomplishment, take time to acknowledge and appreciate these moments.

In conclusion, a couple's relationship can be seen as a journey from birth to adulthood. As with a child, the relationship will go through many stages, and it takes time, effort, and patience to help it grow and thrive. By following these tips, couples can help ensure that their relationship develops into a strong and fulfilling partnership that lasts a lifetime.
