It’s hard to keep the flame alive in long-term relationships. Keeping understanding, that sincerity and, above all, the passion between the couple can become a real mission impossible! And since loving also means be happy there’s no point in being in a relationship where there’s no happiness, right?
With that in mind, we separate some habits that every happy couple has , based on research by relationship psychologist Dr. Mark Goulston. These are small gestures that can go unnoticed, but they certainly reflect a high state of mind, satisfaction and harmony of the couple. happy couples:
1. They go hand in hand
Keeping the custom of walking hand in hand proved to be effective for the happiness of the couple. This common habit of early dating makes a difference by showing companionship and complicity.
2. Go to bed at the same time
It is true that, with the day to day increasingly hectic and hectic, it is difficult to reconcile the bedtime of the two. But making this gesture of beginning a relationship a habit helps in the couple’s complicity, in addition to contributing to their love and sex life. Even if only one is sleepy and the other is doing something else (reading a book, watching TV, using the computer) this moment for two is very important – since sleeping with the partner next door makes all the difference ♥
3. They don’t sleep fighting
No matter how late at night or how tense the fight was, couples who always resolve their conflicts before bed are happier! Not having pending matters at dawn and using bedtime to reconcile and sleep cuddling, improves a lot in the couple’s harmony. Sleeping in a fight is just a way to prolong a disagreement!
4. Talk during the day
Exchanging messages or calls to tell about your day and wanting to know about your partner’s routine is a way to strengthen the ties of any relationship! This contact is important and should never be left aside – as it shows interest in each other and is a way to share your daily life with your love.
5. Often say “I love you”
Who doesn’t like to hear that phrase coming out of the mouth of someone they love, right? In addition to being a romantic gesture, saying “I love you” reaffirms the feeling of happiness and well-being between the couple, making it clear that you are happy with the person next to you. It’s a habit to never miss!
6. Forgive the little things
The happiest couples are those who do not value their partner’s small flaws or small mistakes. Everything that can be overlooked is put aside, putting into perspective that what you have is more worthwhile. Always being willing to forgive your partner works far more than distrusting, punishing them or embarking on endless arguments.
7. They exchange affection, hug each other or stay “together”
Our skin has a memory for our sensations. When being hugged or caressed by the one we love, we can feel at the surface (literally) that we are loved back. The couple that makes this contact less frequent starts to experience “non-touching”, which is processed as neglect and emotional distance.
8. Cultivate common interests
More than keeping the flame of passion lit, the couple needs to create bonds of companionship and friendship for the relationship to work. Couples who cultivate common interests – like cycling, cooking, walking, reading a book, watching a series, etc. – are happier! Having your own interests is important, but doing hobbies and activities with the ones you love is fundamental.
9. Show affection publicly
No one is talking about serenading or hiring a stereo car to express their love. The fact is: happy couples like to be seen together and like to express their feelings (even if each in their own way). Sitting side by side, walking hand in hand, placing your hands on your partner’s shoulders or legs shows affection. Hardly a couple in crisis will instinctively have these small gestures!
10. talk
Dialogue is the key to a successful relationship. Having the intimacy and freedom to say what you feel and think can be the difference between an unhappy couple and a fulfilled, passionate and harmonious couple. In addition to having the freedom to speak, it is essential to know how to listen to your partner – and to understand their side. Couples who talk and remain transparent in the relationship are the happiest!
