Happy couples know that the real
relationship begins when the honeymoon is
over. They know that unless you maintain
the garden of love, its beauty will wither and
die. I was going through a blog and saw this interesting article which I'm about to share with you. I'm still single though..:)
Now discover the 10 things that happy couples do:
1. Go to bed at the same time. Remember
the beginning of your relationship, when
you couldn’t wait to go to bed with each
other to make love? Happy couples resist the
temptation to go to bed at different times.
They go to bed at the same time, even if one
partner wakes up later to do things while
their partner sleeps.
2. Cultivate common interests. After the
passion settles down, it’s common to realize
that you have few interests in common. But
don’t minimize the importance of activities
you can do together that you both enjoy. If
common interests are not present, happy
couples develop them. At the same time, be
sure to cultivate interests of your own; this
will make you more interesting to your mate
and prevent you from appearing too
dependent.
3. Walk hand in hand or side by side. Rather
than one partner lagging or dragging
behind the other, happy couples walk
comfortably hand in hand or side by side.
They know it’s more important to be with
their partner than to see the sights along
the way.
4. Make trust and forgiveness your default
mode. If and when they have a
disagreement or argument, and if they can’t
resolve it, happy couples default to trusting
and forgiving rather than distrusting and
begrudging.
5. Focus more on what your partner does
right than what he or she does wrong. If
you look for things your partner does
wrong, you can always find something. If
you look for what he or she does right, you
can always find something, too. It all
depends on what you want to look for.
Happy couples accentuate the positive.
6. Hug each other as soon as you see each
other after work. Our skin has a memory of
“good touch” (loved), “bad touch” (abused)
and “no touch” (neglected). Couples who
say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed
in the “good touch,” which can inoculate
your spirit against anonymity in the world.
7. Say “I love you” and “Have a good day”
every morning. This is a great way to buy
some patience and tolerance as each
partner sets out each day to battle traffic
jams, long lines and other annoyances.
8. Say “Good night” every night, regardless
of how you feel. This tells your partner that,
regardless of how upset you are with him
or her, you still want to be in the
relationship. It says that what you and your
partner have is bigger than any single
upsetting incident.
9. Do a “weather” check during the day. Call
your partner at home or at work to see how
his or her day is going. This is a great way
to adjust expectations so that you’re more
in sync when you connect after work. For
instance, if your partner is having an awful
day, it might be unreasonable to expect him
or her to be enthusiastic about something
good that happened to you.
10. Be proud to be seen with your partner.
Happy couples are pleased to be seen
together and are often in some kind of
affectionate contact — hand on hand or
hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck.
They are not showing off but rather just
saying that they belong with each other.
