Whether you’re married, dating, or looking for that special someone, these great tips will help keep things feeling new and exciting, creating a stronger bond between you. We thought it would be fun to these. Also, don’t underestimate the benefits of relaxing together. Sharing a spa day can be a great way reconnect!
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 snuggle? 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.
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.
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.
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.
Focus on What Your Partner Does Right
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 the shoulder, knee or back of the neck. They are not showing off, but rather just saying that they belong with each other.
