A new relationship is intoxicating.
There is such intensity around the other person that we become psychologically and biologically smitten.
Hormones and other brain chemicals are released, ensuring that you will be blissfully happy and a bit stressed at the start.

But time erodes all things.
Life challenges and personality quirks emerge, and eventually, you wonder, am I settling in my relationship?
