Jokes beside ...your post is very informative. Upvoted!
I think like this: Love is like u put water and oil together...at first its something new and u love the new state ...the friend love zone...then u have butterflies in your stomach ...the couple zone ...but then there is a new zone that a lot of people forget about... the god love zone ...

When u put oil and water together..what happens after u shake it...it will split again into oil and water ...and this example is the best to explain the god love zone... every person has his/her own life! it can take months or 1-2 years from changing form the couple zone to the god love zone. in the god love zone u just look at your partner and u love him/her the way he/she lives. U love him/her with all the good and bad! And especially you should start to look at the bad of your partner and ask yourself, can I love this person like this?, since every person has sth bad about him/herself. In the god love zone u just love your partner endless without the desire that u need sth back...I'll hope u all enter this zone one day ;) Bless up!
