In the second stage of reiss's wheel theory of love, "self-revelation" brings the couple closer together.
The second stage, self-revelation, becomes out of the first. As a couple ends up OK with each other, their correspondence will move from more shallow issues to more individual issues. As each uncovers hint data about himself or herself to the next, a sentiment closeness creates. Reiss trusts that a couple must have intimate communication and comprehension for genuine love to create.
