Weve all heard of the traditional relationship milestones: meeting the parents, the first year anniversary, moving in together, getting married, buying a house together, and raising kids together.

What does milestone mean in relationship?

Milestones are the events, big or small, that lead a relationship in a new direction. They mark the first time something is done, something that makes you both a little more comfortable. While every relationship has milestones, long-term ones have more, just because theres more time together.
