Question

Answer 1

Answer:    Honeymoon effect

Explanation:  The Honeymoon effect is that period after the marriage, which is usually carried out on a honeymoon travelling, although it may not always be the case, so it is primarily the period after the marriage, and when the partners idealise one another. It is a psychological state where partners experience increased levels of energy and when it comes to love and being in love. Because of the increase in energy and infatuation, the partners are usually unrealistic in evaluating each other, more precisely, overestimating each other and this usually does not take a long time. Partners are prone to bias and magnanimity, and when this period is over, and usually it is over, one can see how well the partners can truly work together, that is, if there really is a true love that begins to pass the maturity exam.
