According to Rita DeMaria, author of "The 7 Stages of Marriage, " there are phases that all marriages go through.The book provides “marriage education” for dealing with the difficulties and joys of marriage. "Marriage education is like a vaccine” to keep a relationship healthy, she said.
The stages discussed by DeMaria go in an evolutionary pattern:
- Passion (before marriage and up to 2 years after) -- The romantic honeymoon period in which mates are the only thing that matter to each other.
- Realization (1 to 3 years) -- The passion fades and couples begin to discover each others' true selves.
- Rebellion (2 to 5 years) -- The most volatile period, when each person yearns for a return to freedom and asserts his or her own self-interest.
- Cooperation (3 to 15 years) -- The longest period, when children and increased domestic responsibilities transform lovers into business partners.
- Reunion (12 to 20 years) -- The "empty nest" period after the busy years.
- Explosion (any time) – When illness, job loss and family crises happen, altering a marriage for months, even years.
- Completion (25 years or more) -- A thoroughly joyful culmination of a life together.
