Many scientists conclude that the "darker season" can put a partnership that was formed in the spring, for example, to a kind of "test". After all, people now spend more time in the premises and inevitably have to deal with themselves. Those who know how to keep surprising the other person and start looking for shared hobbies right now can probably face the "relationship killer autumn" a little more relaxed.
