Honeymoon phase
Significado: The early stage of a relationship when everything feels perfect and both partners are infatuated with each other.
The honeymoon phase is the blissful beginning of a relationship — typically the first few months to a year — when both people see each other through rose-colored glasses. Everything the other person does is adorable, conflict is nonexistent, and the chemistry is intense. Eventually, reality sets in and the 'real' relationship begins.
