How can you be a happy couple?

Discover how the 10 things happy couples do;

1. Go to bed at the same time. 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 a few interests in common. Be sure to cultivate interests of your own, this will make you more interesting to your mate and prevent you from be appearing too dependent.

3. Walk hand in hand side by side. Happy couples walk comfortably and know that it is more important to be with their partner than to see the sights along the way.

4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode. Even when there is a disagreement or argument that cannot be resolved, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.

5. Focus more what your partner does right than wrong. If you look for something that is wrong than you will always find something. If you find something right than you always will find the right something 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 ´, which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world.

7. Say ´I love you ´ and ´ Good morning ´ 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 will tell your partner regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you still want to be in the relationship. It says 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 work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust expectations so that you are more in sync when you connect after work.

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. They are not showing off but rather just saying that they belong to each other.

If these actions do not come naturally, happy couples stick with them until they do become a part of their relationship. It takes about 30 days for a change in behaviour to become a habit, and a minimum of 6 months for a habit to become a way of life and love.
