Are you sure what you feel is love? It may be only the first phase of a far longer journey. Love isn't one feeling or a lifelong spell; it moves through three emotional landscapes that reshape body and mind: 1. Infatuation - an animal spark that idealises and tests. 2. Reproductive love - the stage where routines, home and (perhaps) children are built. 3. Harmonious love - a conscious choice to share worlds, not just bodies. Inside you will learn to: Understand why early chemistry fades-and how to reignite real closeness.Negotiate desire, money, sex and time without eroding intimacy.Spot red flags when partners live in different phases.Transform brief passion into lasting companionship.Apply practical tests to map your own relationship phase.
