How long is your adjustment period in your relationship?

Well I firmly believe that adjustment is ongoing in any good relationship, and that is what makes it strong enough. As every relationship will go through many different difficulties and life altering situations, that re-define both partners and who they are as individuals, causing an unavoidable period of re-adjustment. I think that truely those that continue to want to work at the realtionship and are willing to both give and recieve in the relationship will advance in a much stronger togetherness. However as soon as one of the partners in the relationship sit back and think that the other person needs to be the one making all the changes and refuses to see they too need to change, to grow, then no matter how strong the relationship once was it is now doomed, because they are failing at the new adjustment required to make it work.
