We've all heard stories about newlyweds and how happy they are. They're so excited to start a new life together and create a family. They spend every second together, laughing, smiling, kissing, holding hands, etc. And for the first few months or year of marriage, nothing can bring them down.
Couples who have recently gotten married just want to share everything about their marriage with the whole world. They post it on facebook, blogs, instagram, and anywhere else that they can possibly express their love for their spouse.
All of that lovey dovey newlywed stuff is great, but it's not gonna last forever. It is known that throughout a marriage, the passionate love decreases, and the companionate love increases.
Passionate love includes all of the holding hands, hugging, kissing, saying mushy gushy things, and the physical attraction towards each other. This love tends to decrease as a couple becomes more comfortable with each other and grows to become closer. That is where the companionate love takes over. This love is all about being companions, hence the word "companion"ate love. This is where you truly are best friends, and become one in everything you do. This love increases over time because, again, you are getting more comfortable with each other and share absolutely everything together, just like you would with your best friend.
