First things first, why should you care about how to not only understand but also learn how to navigate relationship milestones?

Here’s why

Successfully getting through relationship milestones increases and strengthens the intimate bond between you and your romantic partner.

It sets a strong base for a loving relationship built on trust, talking openly, and supporting each other.

On the flip side, if you and your partner manage to fuck this up, it can lead to lead to communication breakdowns, trust issues, and resentment between you two.

But wait…there’s more!

These challenges can also spill over into other areas of your life and negatively impact your work and social relationships.

THE BREAKDOWN

Relationship milestones are checkpoints or special moments in a romantic relationship that show how it’s growing and changing over time.

They are steps that couples go through together as they get closer and more committed to each other.

For example, the first time you go on a date with your partner or when you both decide to date exclusively are early milestones.
