Embrace the Rhythm of Relationships

Relationships evolve through three key phases: harmony, disharmony, and repair, reflecting a natural rhythm akin to the dynamics observed in early parent-infant interactions. Initial stages of a relationship often embody a deep yet naive connection, referred to as 'love without knowledge,' where partners may not fully understand each other's complexities. As individuals navigate conflicts and misunderstandings, they experience disruptions that challenge their bond. However, the ability to engage in repair after these disturbances is crucial for fostering lasting closeness and deepening emotional intimacy over time.
