Is your favorite phase of the relationship where whatever the other person does it seems cute?

Question

How come that feeling doesn't last forever?

Answer 1

No way, life would be so lame if it was just that feeling forever. The BEST part of the relationship is down the road, when your married and you have gained the strongest most amazing relationship and bond with eachother, way deeper than you ever could have imagined that goes so far beyond any superficial "cuteness". Thats my favorite part.

Answer 2

My favorite phase is the one Jackie described.  I'm a neat freak, he is carefree and laid back.  Sometimes I think he leaves his clothes on the floor or doesn't put the toothpaste back in the holder just to irk me, but when its all said and done I wouldn't have him any other way. This man respects me and treats me like a queen, what more could a woman ask for?

Answer 3

the cuteness goes away and then the true side comes out  

Answer 4

Nothing is forever - love grows and as it grows it changes. My favorite part is NOW - knowing that even after all the *sMhUiDt* we have been through, he still can look at me and say "I love you" and it IS REAL LOVE!!  Not just that infatuation, "cute" feeling but deep, true love.  You have to be able to appreciate each stage of love for what it is.

Answer 5

The reason that feeling doesn't last forever is because we get used to the person and their habits.  Just like a joke is funny the first few times we hear it, eventually we tire of it.  

Now, that's not to say that we tire of the ones we fall in love with, but we do get used to them.  

My favorite phase of a relationship is when circumstances show that the person really DOES love me.  Then a sense of acceptance and peace settles in because I no longer doubt their feelings but trust them and their intentions.    

Answer 6

In the beginning of the relationship when they do something it really is annoying however we think it is cute at the time thinking it is only going to last for awhile however when it is day in and day out for years it is very annoying.  

Answer 7

Thats not my favorite phase....while yes, it is amazing having that feeling, it gets to the point that I even make myself want to hurl with all that cutesy c**p.  

My favorite phase is past the "honeymoon phase".  It is the one where even though you now find how they don't put their clothes in the hamper or throw something away right away annoying, you still wouldn't change them for the world.  You know that they are no where near perfect, but you love them for that.  You know that at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if they say everything right and never do anything wrong, it is that they were there for you and they love and support you just as you do them.  That you are part of a team.  That even though not everything is "cute" all the time and not everything is "perfect" every second, you still wouldn't trade your worst day with them for anything, not anything.  That is the part that I like.  

Answer 8

I started to answer this question earlier but had to leave before I could finish my answer. Although that initial phase of a relationship can be fun, exhilarating and like walking on the clouds, it isn't my favorite phase. My favorite is after you have been together awhile and really know each other well enough to know that you love that person unconditionally and feel that love back in return. It's when you know you want to be together no matter what obstacles life throws in your path and you love that person for who they are, flaws and all. I think in the beginning, you are both being your best selves, whether intentional or not. You're happy, you're in love, and want to be the best person you can be, and it seems like you bring out the best in each other. After this phase starts wearing off and the real world starts creeping into your relationship, you are hit with the reality that this person isn't perfect and if you're honest, that you aren't, either. But, you also realize that you have something meaningful and special and you learn to appreciate the strengths that this person has. We all come with some baggage and we all have some weaknesses and flaws, but the really good part is knowing someone loves you, anyway.

I can't really think of anything that I thought was cute about my husband, that I don't think is cute now. What I didn't like before we were married, I wouldn't like now, and the things I did like before, I still like. We all grow and change, and I think that most of the time, it's in a good way. I think that feeling can last forever if you still love your spouse and keep that love alive. Of course, you're not going to feel that constant high of when you first fell in love all the time. I don't think most of us could handle that, but this long-term love can be a lot more satisfying.
