If you build a relationship entirely around how you feel in the moment, what happens when those feelings change? And they can. Stress, circumstances, attraction, and the natural changes that happen in relationships can all affect how we feel. Research on romantic relationships shows that passion and romantic interest can change as relationships develop, while longer-lasting relationships can develop stronger attachment alongside that change. That’s why commitment matters. Research also shows that investment is connected to feeling attached to a partner and believing the relationship has a future. So yes, you might wake up one day and feel fewer butterflies. You might be stressed. You might be annoyed. You might not feel “in love” every single day. That doesn’t automatically mean the relationship is wrong. The bigger question is: “Have I decided this is the person I want to build a life with?” Because feelings can start a relationship. Commitment, investment, and intentional choice help build one. That’s part of The Coach Vee System in Love™: learning to distinguish chemistry from compatibility, feelings from commitment, and attraction from a real decision to build. 💬 Want to learn how to choose a partner beyond the butterflies?
