8 Stages Of Every Relationship As Told By Your Food
2. The Homemade Lasagna Stage
You've met the parents; perhaps you're even tossing around ideas about a life together and how hot (or not) your future offspring would be. You may have taken the step forward and moved in together, or maybe even purchased a pet together - which is essentially the twenty-something's equivalent to having a child. In The Homemade Lasagna stage, you either stay together or fall apart. The comfort is great and can have its perks. There is nothing better than coming home to your best friend and getting to hang out all the time. However, when you stop going out because you don't want to put a bra on, or he doesn't want to put real pants on, the comfort-zone can lead to a real decline in romance. Everyone loves some good comfort food, but don't forget to mix it up every now and then to keep things interesting.
