When it comes to relationships, you can find yourself in one of three positions: The Beginning, The Middle Or The End. Now, depending on the health of your relationship, the beginning and the middle are where you want to be, but be aware that the end can jump into the fray at anytime. The ending is more or less an indication that something is going or has gone horribly wrong with the direction of your relationship.

Now, Where's Your Relationship Headed?
So looking at the examples above, is your relationship growing or has it become stagnant? Are you just going through the motions with no end in sight or is there indication of positive or negative growth?
Now, nothing is wrong if you're maintaining in a good place, as long as you two can make small leaps forward when the timing is right. No need to run down to aisle just because you have become comfortable, utilize the downtime to learn more about each other. Become more in tune, do a lot of talking to find out what each other's plans are for the relationship.
One of you may even be thinking marriage, while the other is just thinking about introducing you to the family. Are you okay with that?
Are you content realizing that your relationship has matured to the point that no additional leaves will grow? This is something to consider, unless you don't mind being surprised to find out that Babe's future doesn't have you in the plans.

Where To Go From Here?
Well, now that you have a better idea of the growth in your relationship, you have to decide if you're willing to put even more work in to get to the next level. Or not..lol It's really a question of what you genuinely want at this point. Do you want a deeper connection with the Babe? Are you comfortable "just" maintaining? Or... have things run their course?
