Time is a factor that conditions all aspects of life, including love. Much has been said about the call seven-year crisis In reality, love is not a mathematical equation, that is, not all couples have to experience the critical moment at the same point along the way. But what the seven-year crisis essentially represents is that only couples who are aware that this crisis is going to occur at some point will be able to save their love.
A crisis is not something negative since in a phase of doubt is when the person can ask themselves many questions and work much harder on their relationship. When things flow naturally as in falling in love, lovers feel that they do not have to make great efforts to make the relationship work. However, in the seven year crisis The perspective that each one has of the other and of their own life has changed.
The nerves and butterflies in the stomach were left behind, giving rise to a relationship that in many cases seems more friendly than a couple. That is to say, the feeling is more serene and there is less passion and more routine. There is no way to change this reality. It is literally impossible to always be in the falling in love phase because it would even be physically exhausting.
What to do in such a situation
Firstly, in a moment of crisis it is vital that you do not analyze the situation solely from the perspective of now. Evaluate the entire relationship and have your mind set on the future, being aware that the crisis will end.
Take the seven-year crisis in your relationship as a real opportunity to get to know yourself and your partner better. Think positively and water the plant of love with love.
