Marriage Mistakes Unveiled: The 4th Relationship Stage You’re Ignoring Could Be Your Last Chance for True Happiness!

Understanding when the right time to say "I do" is can make all the difference. Here’s how you can identify the perfect stage for marriage, so you don’t end up with regrets.
While "Chatt Mangni Patt Biyaah" (quick engagements) is more likley to have worked for a few of the arranged marriages, rushing through love marriages without even getting to know each other is absolutely a wrong doing. The romantic period clouds the judgment, and many forget that in a love marriage they have a better chance of understanding their spouse's strengths and weaknesses. Still, time and time again, it happens that couples rush into the process.
The shocking truth is, most people never even know when the right time to marry is.In this article, we will take you through the five stages of a relationship and let you know exactly which one is the best for taking the plunge into marriage. According to content creator Surbhi Gandhi, the fourth stage is when you should consider saying "I do."
This is the point when everything just feels right. You are in love with each other, literally head over heels, spending all your waking hours together, and finally, you've found "the one."The thing is, this is not the stage at which to make a commitment such as marriage. It's the love and passion phase, and although it's beautiful, it's too early to start thinking about the long-term.
Spending more and more time with your partner, you begin to face reality. Your partner is not as great as you thought him or her to be initially; differences creep up in front of you. Couples may try to change each other or, worst still, break up because of differences. It is a rough stretch, but it holds the growth value.
There comes a much-needed phase of understanding after the struggle. You both start accepting each other's flaws, and you realize that no one is perfect. At this stage, you're learning to compromise, adapt to each other, and push forward despite your differences. You begin to develop a deeper trust and connection, which is the foundation for a long-lasting relationship.
Now comes the pivotal fourth stage – the commitment stage. By this time, you’ve seen each other’s good, bad, and everything in between. You’ve learned to balance love, freedom, fun, and shared goals. This is the perfect time to get married. You've developed a deep bond, and you both feel ready to take on life together as partners.
Once you are married, you begin planning your future together. It may be in raising children, building a career, or in facing life's challenges; you approach everything together. You plan your future based on mutual dreams and goals, working hand in hand to achieve them. This is where you really start growing together as a unit.
In summary, while it feels tempting to just rush into marriage, every phase of a relationship has its importance. Whether you're in the honeymoon phase, or you're passing through the tough times, or trying to work through your differences, the essence is to wait for the right moment. Therefore, do not rush; take time to grow, understand, and choose the right time to say "I do."
