It's important to remember that Romeo is just 17, an adolescent in terms of his development, but an adult for his day and society. Romeo falls in love with Juliet, and backs it up with marriage, a very adult thing to do. As a married pair, they pass one night together, and consummate their union. So this is not a summer thing. Romeo evolves because of his marriage vow, and the personal risk he must pass through; before, during and after his marriage to Juliet, in order to be with her. Living his commitment, his attitude changes accordingly.
