#Stagnation

The stagnation stage in a romantic relationship is the silent comfort zone that arrives after the engine of passion has burned out. The will to delve into each other’s thoughts has evaporated, leaving conversation to stock phrases and sighs. As they internalize the chasm between ideal and reality, the couple loses their sense of direction. For those longing for relationship growth, it is a mirror-like stage revealing the most inconvenient truths.
