The corners have rubbed off and are in the comfortable phase where you do not need to impress the partner but deeper understanding forms the basis of the relationship. You know each other’s idiosyncrasies and have accepted each other with their flaws and all. You are not worried about losing the relationship but are there for each other. However, to attain this stage, you have to pass through the other two preceding ones.
