SEASON OF STRUGGLE: When the 'honeymoon' stage of a relationship ends

The attraction stage of a relationship can be truly magical and can serve as an important bonding experience between the couple. When two people find themselves attracted to one another, their focus becomes centred on one another.

There is a magical quality about being together. They long to be with the other. When apart, their phone calls and emails and tweets are a lifeline without which they would feel alone and empty. Often the two seem to know what the other is thinking without a word being spoken.
