See the links for the source of this entry. Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is over. Below are the habits of highly happy couples:
- Go to bed at the same time.
- Cultivate common interests.
- Make Trust and forgiveness your default mode.
- Focus on accentuating the positive.
- Hug each other as soon as you see each other after being apart for the day.
- Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning.
- Say "good night" every night, regardless of how you feel.
- Do a "weather" check during the day (if your partner is having a bad day, it is not reasonable to expect them to be enthusiastic about something good in yours).
- Walk hand in hand.
- Stick with it (some of the above suggestions may not be natural yet, it takes practice to make them a habit).
