This version of your spouse feels almost perfect.
Over time, however, couples often find themselves knee-deep in a new reality.
The connection phase, popularly known as the honeymoon phase, is when everything feels blissful and romantic.
The disconnection phase is when reality sets in, and unpleasant behaviors and dispositions become apparent.
This is also known as the power struggle/disillusionment stage.
It takes a willingness from each partner for this phase to lead to healthy growth as a couple.
