How long does the honeymoon phase last?

I don't think it's realistic to expect the honeymoon phase to last forever. But that also depends on what your definition is. My definition of the honeymoon phase is the first few month of a relationship where everything is sunshine and roses and you couldn't imagine ever arguing with each other cause your relationship is just that "perfect". Then reality hits, every couple argues, no matter how much you love someone they can still get on your last nerve.

That being said, having a REAL relationship with someone after the honeymoon phase is much better in my opinion. It's just more meaningful. That doesn't mean you shouldn't still get butterflies every now and again, but it's less of having your head in the clouds and more of knowing without a doubt that no matter what life throws at you, you've found the person you want to be there with you through it all.

I also don't think it's realistic to expect the honeymoon phase forever. But I'm sure this also means that they still make you giddy and excited in other ways that feel more calm because they're home to you.

No matter what, you should have feeling of a "honeymoon phase" throughout you life with your partner. There will be times that are rough and difficult, but at the end of the day as long as you know you want to spend your life with this person and love them than that is all that matters.

I don't think the honeymoon phase lasts forever. My fiance and I have been together for 6 years - 7 when we get married. But even though that phase doesn't last forever, I still have moments that remind me of that phase on a regular basis. I think of the honeymoon phase as seeing sunshine and rainbows and just being googoo eyed on your partner and being attached at the hip. I wouldn't have wanted that to last forever, but I can definitely appreciate still having moments like that with my partner.

I think that the honeymoon phase should always, be in effect. You should have a date night once a week, continue dating each other, like before you got married. Dressing up when going to dinner, bringing home a rose for (him) just because, writing him love letters and thanking him for being there, when no one else cared. Those moments to me matters the most and go such a long way. So yeah, honeymoon phase shouldn't have to stop, just because you're married now!!! The real question is how to stay married now that you are.

I still get giddy, whenever my fiance steps in the room and we have been best friends for 27 years, and I still see him the same when we first met. Been married for 18 yesrs . Reunited! Were doing it again....

The honeymoon period in a relationship looks different for every couple, and the time period it lasts can really vary, but research says it does come to an end. But that's not a bad thing! Once it's over you can hit your stride as a partnership and carve out a life together
When you're in the honeymoon phase it's easier to ignore or miss parts of your relationship that don't really work for you because you're swept up in the emotions, but after that wears off you get to see how truly compatible you are together

I feel the honeymoon phase doesn't have to last forever because eventually you will have to live life with all its up and downs. Its how you deal with those moments that strengthen or break apart your bonds. I do believe the couple should still court each other in a way after marriage, set time aside to be a couple. For example covid brought many things with it and and two of my FH siblings are living in our apartment, one has a part time the other is unemployed, both adults and we are dealing with it a day at a time. Its important for us to still feel like a couple even tho we try to incorporate the newer members of the home in what we do, sometimes even even just going to the store to get food together or have a drive through ice cream date between the two of us makes a covid date.

My personal opinion is that the honeymoon phase is overrated. 😂
I also wouldn't want to encourage people to have these massive doubts if it's not sunshine and roses constantly. You should feel *respected* and *safe* 100% of the time - no ifs, ands or buts. But sometimes they will annoy the crap out of you, sometimes something will come out of their mouth that will make you go who in the world are you, and sometimes external circumstances will create storms that you have to weather.
Don't jump ship because they start throwing their socks on the floor or think your taste in music is tragic.
