When the relationship matures, and the people in it are so connected and attuned, there is affection, restfulness, trust, and security. Stability is good. However, this state of satiation can sometimes lead to a lull, a sense of sleep that can rob the relationship of excitement, mystery, and intrigue. The relationship can flatline and this may lead to boredom. The solution is to re-romanticize the relationship. Though the romantic love stage ends, the romance can last a lifetime, and this is what makes a difference between married life being a chore and being a celebration.
