52 - It Got Real Quick - When real life struggles hit your relationship early on

The beginning of a relationship is often a time of excitement and immense pleasure. You and your partner stay up late talking, kissing, and more! It’s almost like you can’t get enough of them. You can face the next day of work or school with little to no sleep and show up with the high of love exuding out of every pore on your body. This “honeymoon” period of love and attraction can last weeks, months, or even years. But when it ends, there can be a tremendous letdown, and suddenly the love of your life becomes human with all of their flaws and shortcomings. For some couples, the initial thrill of falling in love can be washed away by real-life stressors. Sometimes…It Gets Real Quick!
