I mean I'm 4 years into a relationship, and while I don't think we're still in the honeymoon phase, we definitely act like it. We've actually gotten even more lovey dovey the longer we're together. When I was at the point in my relationship that you are, we'd never had a fight and were the exact same way. It's totally normal. The important thing to remember though, is the honeymoon phase isn't whether you can keep your hands off of one another, but instead, it's when you don't see each other's flaws. When the honeymoon phase is over, it means you really see your S. O. flaws, their every little annoying and aggravating tendency. The real "make it or break it" part of a relationship is if you love person, not in spite of their flaws, but with their flaws. My boyfriend can be so irresponsible, but I love that too, because he's always going to be a bit of a Peter Pan, and I know I need someone like that to bring me down to Earth when my brain starts to plan too far ahead.
The honeymoon phase is more about sex and feeling butterflies in your stomach when you hear their voice or see them than about not arguing. Many say it lasts seven years. In truth it depends on if you chose the right person - choose the right person and it gets better with time. Choose the wrong one and it gets sour and boring. When a guy asks a married woman how long she has been married it is because he likes to believe she is getting bored with husband and looking for a sex thing with another man ( HIM ). He hopes she will say she has been married a long time, the longer the more chance there is for him. Silly selfish man.
Do you live together?
How often do you spend time together regardless if you live together or don't live together.
Are there a lot of sleep overs at one or the others place? Or at just yours or theirs place?
There are many factors that play a role of how long the honeymoon phase lasts for that's why most marriages last only 6 months to max 2 years before separation or divorce.
u If you're lucky enough it'll last forever.
Follow some really basic needs of your partner and it can last a lifetime.
My husband and I are back in the honeymoon phase after 13 years of marriage, I want it to last forever. ❤
Usually it’s 2 years. However, it depends whether you are living with your partner or not, how much they are part of your everyday life, etc.
relationships with distance or on-line aren’t the same, because the mere fact that you can pick, when you communicate or not, plus the distance itself becomes a safety blanket, to allow fantasy and expectations to take over, so they aren’t the same... just aren’t.
Most of the time 2 years is what it takes to get to really know someone, and then after 2 years things take on a more practical and functional momentum
The honeymoon phase may last for decades. I've known couples that were criticized for inappropriate PDA after they had been together for five years. My wife and I have been together for ten years and we're still kissing in bars. We never fight. There's a couple in the NY times that have been together for about twenty years and they never argue either. Sounds like you are in a happy relationship. Congratulations!

s for me usually around a few months.
I would honestly not want that to end. When I was 25 I was in love with my wife and thought life couldn't be better. At the age of 30 I had to bury her and my unborn son. She had a blood clot that went to her heart. Here I am at 40. I suffer from chronic migraines that have cost me 2 jobs. I live in a dark room and rarely get out. So don't be in such a hurry to get through the first stage. And never stop telling each other how much they mean to you. Because tomorrow is a crapshoot that you may not win.
I'd say usually between 3 and 6 months, but it's longer for some couples. I'm in a relationship with my boyfrind since about 3,5 years now and we still only had one serious argument and are still wild for each other xD so it doesn't have to be honeymoon related, because I do not think that it could last THIS long.
Some people just do click :)
Honeymoon phase usually refers to the time it takes from when we are trying to be our best for our new partner until the time we behave like we normally do. I would say 3 months on average.
However, if you both kept it real and were genuinely falling in love from the moment you met them, then there was no honeymoon phase, you both were real from the gate. You should get married and not waiting so you can build your relationship further before you become too familiar.
Remember, familiarity builds contempt. Another rule: a marriage license changes everything!
I find it lasts anywhere for 4 to 6 months but then there is a new getting to know the real person. That time table is between 6 month to a year. Some would say the whole 1 year is the honeymoon period but I see it in two distinct phases. The honeymoon and the period of getting to know the real individual.
My boyfriend and I have been together for two years and a month. We're super romantic, and I still crush on him like crazy. I don't think we'll ever be out of the honeymoon stage, even if we do have our fights here and there.
I think all couples are different. You can't base one on another. I personally it it isn't broke then dont fix it. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Its amazing that you guys are still that way. I always say you should never stop going on dates. Wether your new or years into a marriage. :)
Its great and keep it this way until u can... most couples loose charm after sometimes and take relationship as a burden.. very a few like u keep it alive.. analyze whst u two doing for still having such feel and keep it.. for the question u asked honeymoon phase is a phase of relationship where u only enjoy feel happy around ur partner... u look positive things and put effort to please each other.. no give n take but unconditional love and this should be the key of every relationship...
6 months almost always for me living together and I find it coincidental that common law kicks in at 6months in some states, so they know.
Well we have been together for almost 2 years. Still at honeymoon phase. Still i get excited when i see him.
Still he acts timid around me. It can be forever. Really. As long as you feel it.
I think it varies with every relationship. Some people seemingly vacation in the honeymoon phase for years, while others are there for a short stay.
Ahahha it depends on couple to couple... On person to person... Like it seems that you and your boyfriend are to attached to each other and that's underful, I even think that "honeymoon phase" doesn't exist in your case cus one year and a month is enough for you and your boyfriend to have a serious relationship and if you're like that until now... The only thing I can say is congratulations, maybe you found the ONE 😉
Most people will say 6 months to a year. But I think it's more like 2 years.
I believe on average about 6 months.
Your relationship is so cute!
Dear don't listen to world t here is no honey moon phase ok you have to work hard to keep relationship going just like everyday you go office by wearing washed and pressed clothes a relationship is like so and if you don't have time for sex one night but you get each other for 2hrs in arms , that comfort and warmth of lover around you feels tremendous relaxation. every day is new day and new love. but it depends on how you and your partner programmed to see love.
every relationship is different. My current relationsgip is 1 year 6 months, and we are still f'n like bunnys, and in puppy love. My last relationship before this, the honeymoon was over in one month but the relationship lasted 9 years (and sucked the last 8)
There's really no set amount of time for anything, everyone is different and personally I try to make the honeymoon phase last as long as possible or bring it back after its gone cause its a beautiful feeling to have! Enjoy it!
Six months which is why a lot of relationships these days don't go pass that, but not because you only had one fight and can't keep your hands off each other means that your still in the phase.
Never been married but I imagine two years at the most. Then after that it's more of a familial love, but even then, that love should not fade out. Keep things exciting between you two.
Mine lasted about 3 months and we're going on three years. I sure do miss that feeling.
