Relationships can be very tricky especially when it is a new ones. There are many things you will experience with your partner throughout your relationship. When you look at other relationships on the internet, you may think that they are perfect and that they never fight. Well, you only think that because you are seeing their happy side. Every relationship goes through its ups and downs. This is to be expected. New relationships go through something called the “honeymoon phase”. This is the time when you are just getting to know each other and for some reason, you just can’t get enough of the person.

Now what you should know is that the “honeymoon phase” typically lasts for three months. After that, you will notice that you will start to fight about things every now and again. As time goes on you will notice that your fights become a bit bigger and bigger. This is when you need to know that you love your partner regardless of anything and everything. You see, being in a fight can really make you think the worst things. This is because you may not agree with your partner at the moment. But that’s just it. All those bad things you feel are simply in the moment.

If you plan on staying with your partner forever then what happens in those “bad moments” shouldn’t determine your feelings for them. In fact, when you go through those hard times, this is when you should love your partner even more. Much like the happy moments make your relationship stronger, so do the bad time. It may not feel like it at the moment but going through fights teaches you how to communicate which is a big part of being in a relationship. The next time you are in a fight with your partner, simply remember that you love each other regardless of whatever you are fighting about.
