Stages of Relationships
The theory of Imago is that we unconsciously choose partners who have characteristics of our childhood caregivers. We then unconsciously recreate the emotional environment of childhood wanting our partners to treat us better than we were treated growing up. What happens next is one of two things. Our partner either responds negatively which leaves us frustrated and hurt, or our partner responds positively to help heal childhood hurts.

Romantic Love is the first stage in relationships and is nature’s selection process that connects us with the right partner for our own healing and growth.Houston Couples marriage counseling therapist Peggy Halyard-Wilson and Doug Wilson from Houston , Texas enjoying the beach in Galveston

As Romantic Love fades, we move into the Power Struggle stage. Couples have difficulty resolving conflict in healthy ways and resentment, anger, frustration and criticism can enter the relationship.

Imago is a process which takes couples from the power struggle to a mature love. Imago teaches couples how to break destructive cycles of relating and how to create romance, fun and stability in their relationship.
