honeymoon

1. (by extension) A period of goodwill at the beginning of a new term or relationship (e.g. towards a newly elected politician or in respect of a new business arrangement).Examples: "Now that the honeymoon is over, it’s time for us to get down to the business at hand."; "The honeymoon period came to a swift end when the legislation was introduced."; "But the “honeymoon” was short. The propertied classes wanted merely a political revolution, which would take the power from the Tsar and give it to them. They wanted Russia to be a constitutional Republic, like France or the United States; or a constitutional Monarchy, like England. On the other hand, the masses of the people wanted real industrial and agrarian democracy."broadly
