Whether out and about or people we know personally. They are always laughing and seem radiant, no matter how long they&#8217;ve been together. If you&#8217;re not in a relationship like that, it&#8217;s gets you thinking: what makes them so happy? What do those couples know that you don&#8217;t? Why can&#8217;t you be that happy with your partner? The good news is that you can. You can start today to build a relationship that will always flourish. You just have to learn the secrets behind happy couples.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Listen &amp; Respond<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One thing that these couples do is communicate effectively. They feel comfortable expressing their thoughts to one another. They don&#8217;t worry about the reception because they are open. Being open with your partner increases your likelihood of staying together. But communication is more than just talking about your problems. It also means that you&#8217;re listening to their problems. You&#8217;re responded to them in an effective manner. It&#8217;s often easy to jump into &#8220;defensive&#8221; mode when you&#8217;re feeling attacked. But you have to remember that expressing their feelings about something is not meant to be a direct attack on you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be supportive &amp; understanding of each other<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Following an open communication, you have to learn to be supportive and understanding. This means that you&#8217;ll have to drop the defensive mechanisms you&#8217;ve learned over the years. You should never have to be defensive with a partner. Supporting each other also means giving each other space when it&#8217;s needed. Your partner could be having a hard time because of work or other personal issues. You can&#8217;t pressure them into talking or even being intimate. They shouldn&#8217;t pressure you either. You need to be able to give each other what is needed at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Maintain intimacy &amp; be attentive<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Being attentive is a good way to give each other what is needed. This also means being observant enough to know what your partner might be looking for. Doing this is a great way to make your partner feel appreciated and understood. It&#8217;s easy to get so wrapped up in your own world that you forget to make time for each other. Please don&#8217;t confuse intimacy with sex. Being intimate with your partner doesn&#8217;t always mean sex. Although, a healthy sexual relationship is a key element to maintaing a thriving connection. Intimacy can be as simple as holding hands or cuddling on the couch. Sometimes silence and hand-holding is the best way to be attentive to someone&#8217;s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kiss &amp; Make Up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of the reasons someone feels underappreciated is because small things get taken out of context. This can lead to misunderstandings, which can lead to arguments. The original point gets completely lost in the heat of the moment and nothing gets resolved. It&#8217;s important to know which fights are worth having and when it&#8217;s time to step down. Knowing this can be the difference between a thriving relationship and a failing one. In order to know whether or not it&#8217;s important, you&#8217;ll have to follow the steps above in being attentive and communicating effectively. You need to stay focused during any disagreement so that the problem actually gets resolved and doesn&#8217;t need to come up again in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Learn to laugh together<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Finally, happy couples are the ones who can laugh off unimportant arguments. Learning to laugh with your partner is beneficial is so many ways. Firstly, laughter is a health boost. But it also signals that your love for each other is more important than petty problems. Laughing alone makes you seem inconsiderate and like you don&#8217;t care, but laughing together signals a oneness. Every relationship should have that oneness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That&#8217;s not to say you&#8217;ll always be on the same page. These couples aren&#8217;t happy 24-7. They argue. They disagree. But they know how to communicate and work things through. That&#8217;s how happy couples stay happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re all likely to see those happy couples.
