Phases of Marital Love

Stages of marital love

For any marriage or relationship to be blessed, couples should understand the 5 stages of marital love. All phases must be manifest in any home if the home team should be a place of love and togetherness.

Phase 1 - Attraction: This is what we call the face of love. It implies acceptance of the outlook for your spouse and be intoxicated by it. Once a man loses interest in philosophy and dressing of his wife, will it affect other phases of love. Both husband and wife must educate themselves to be interested in the prospects for their spouses. Everyone should also make every effort to look good, beautiful and handsome.

Phase 2 - Emotion: This is what we call "mind love." It is about giving space for deep devotion to a spouse. It's heartfelt love, the rate is always very high before the wedding, the honey moon and map after the wedding. But most of the time, it does not last as couples begin to take each other for granted. It affects their feelings, and kill 'minds love'.

Phase 3 - Forced Love: It is known as responsible love. This is the kind that exists between a man and his wife, which makes them stay together and perform their duties to each other, even when they are more attractive to each other and love is gone. This is what remains in many marriages where they differ from home, is likely to be separation and divorce.

Phase 4 - Passion: This is known as sexual love. It is the aspect that makes the man for wanting to sleep with his wife. If it exists between unmarried people, it is little pleasure. Most of the time wives are the first to lose this with love. Actually it is one of the things a woman loses when she is dissatisfied with her husband, leading to sexual rejection of her husband.

Phase 5 - Compassion: this is known as God's love and agape love. This love is unusual, it is not based on the outlook, body chemistry, emotions or happenings around us. It is love that is deeply rooted in kindness and acceptance. It is a sacrificial love. Unfortunately, very few couples got married based on this kind of love, most women based their marriages on emotional love, while men based on their attraction and passion. 

Please note that all the five phases of love is needed in your home if your marriage should be colorful.
