What exactly is considered couple growth?

[Katsuya]

I kinda already know that couple growth is like growth in a couple, but I don't.

Does it mean like the couple started and then held hands, then kiss and went further. If that's case, then isn't every romance a couple growth one(most, not all). anyways, When would you use the tag and stuff.

Have you ever been into a relationship? No, scratch that, had you ever seen a relationship? Well, since you're asking the answer is a solid no.

There is always growth in every second, sometimes we can't feel or see them. Relationships are like that, but not adding complication to their relationship means that the growth you see in them is plain and normal. Talking, holding hands, kissing, inviting each other to their room, and etc. It's the ABC of love and it goes higher than that.

I've never used the tag myself, surprisingly, but if it is literal couple growth, then use it whenever you have the meaning it provides.

Generally couple growth is about trust. A couple can start out hiding secrets, but over time trust enough to just fart around each other and talk about kinks. And the obvious of not being afraid to lose the other to someone else. Thems just some examples.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a very stark example of couple growth.

Couple growth can be loosely defined by any change in behavior between the two characters over time. If person A is an aloof person that's fine with long periods of silence and person B has a neurotic streak that shows up whenever they're given time to assume the worst (are they quiet because they don't like me? am I putting my foot in my mouth? are they about to BREAK UP WITH ME?!) they may make a pointed effort to make person B more comfortable by making more small talk, or initiating casual touch, which in turn might first turn person B into a bundle of nerves where they once had a polite exterior that only ran skin deep because the extra affection only makes them more fidgety.

Add some intimate moments, some heart-to-heart talk, and possibly a little moaning. And person A's efforts might be rewarded with person B being comforted by person A as they intended in the first place, even if there were a gazillion steps in between.

Couple Growth is like two people who started to get into a relationship and are currently adjusting to how their lives would change. Anything can be a character growth depending on what changes on a character in their actions or personality. Like, a man whose strong-willed would slowly go softhearted at times or an independent woman that would start to trust someone with her back. Its kinda like maturity in a person to take on new responsibilities and how that person would take that role.

Couple growth is when your yandere realizes that she can't trust you, and advances your relationship to the next level of not letting you out of the basement.

First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes a baby in a baby carriage

In the sense of the tag, it would be used when the growth of the couple's relationship is actually a focus in the story, I'd assume. Like in a Japanese romcom LN, if the couple actually goes beyond just kissing in the last chapter, then there could probs be the tag. Not sure, but that's my take anyway

Well, love is not always about "growth" in real life. For example, when you start dating someone you get all these intense feelings that makes you feel invincible, but with time comes monotony and routine, and you feel bored, even sex quickly gets boring if you and your couple don't try new things. Some people can destroy their relationships with insane jealousy and trust issues. It happens to everyone and some couples grow out of it, while others break up.

Those who do stay together just accept the monotony as a part of their lives, you'll hear often that couples try to "rekindle" their relationship. In real life, you can only get mundane situations like being fired from your job, you totaled your car, foreclosure of your house, and other stressful situations that can get people together but more often than not, it can also push people apart unless you live in some third-world country where there is plenty of military coups, civil wars, genocides and so on to make it a bit more interesting. In fiction, however, you get these world-changing events mandated by the plot like wars, alien invasions, and zombie apocalypses that tend to bring people together and form tight, everlasting relationships.

Couple growth is when she can avoid taking a selfie of EVERYTHING and you both can actually enjoy an evening without letting the rest of social media have their say in the festivities.
