ANSWER:
Romances have a typical—but not a universal—evolutionary path. For most of us, romance
progresses through the stages of escalation, navigation, and deterioration.
During escalation, a couple meets and has social interaction. If early interaction increases
attraction, then they may increase the amount and intimacy of interaction. Additional and more
personal disclosures are exchanged, and partners increasingly learn how the other feels and thinks.
As caring develops, physical desirability increases. At some point, partners consider whether they
want the relationship to be permanent or at least extended.
Navigation is the ongoing process of communicating to sustain intimacy in the face of changes in
oneself, one’s partner, the relationship, and surrounding contexts.
Deterioration often begins when one or both partners reflect and sometimes brood about
dissatisfaction with the relationship. If unchecked, dissatisfaction leads to a breakdown of the
established patterns, understandings, and rules that have been a part of the relationship. Whether the
relationship survives deterioration depends on the partners’ commitment level, their perceived
alternatives, and whether they have the communication skills to work through problems
constructively.
