Maintaining that happiness between the couples is a very simple thing. One doesn’t have to follow or do big things to keep their relationship happy. There are small gestures and things which are enough to maintain the needed bond between a couple.
Happy couples have not taken any coaching or learnt from somewhere or born with the quality of keeping the relationship strong and happy. But they slowly and gradually did such things that are important for a happy relationship.
We see that some couples are very happy in their relationship but on the other side it is becoming difficult for couples to even live together. We see them fighting badly or misunderstood on certain things and after some time they give up on each other. We assume that happy couples are lucky ones and the unhappy ones are unlucky ones. It is not the fact that a relationship is never a perfect one, it is the two people who come together, do such things which makes their bonding stronger with each passing day.
It is not that tough, with simple things one can definitely make their bond a long lasting one. Strong bonds are built by resolving the fight as early as possible, by doing healthy fights rather abusive ones, appreciating each other for their achievements, helping each other grow rather stopping or restricting to pursue the thing a partner wants to do, keeping each other first in every decision of their life, respecting each other and many more. Love is not just a feeling, rather its little things done regularly by each passing day that makes their bond grow stronger and stronger just like concrete.
Here we will discuss the key habits a happy couple follows religiously to make their bond stronger. Whether you are entering a new relationship or are already in a relationship, these effective yet powerful habits will help you to strengthen your bond and connection with each passing day.
1. They make time for each other:
Life is full of responsibilities. We all are running after a good job or achieving something in our lives. It can be anything. We all are surrounded by so many things. But as we already know, if we are serious about something then we have to give priority to that particular thing no matter how busy we are.
So, if you want a strong bond then you must have to take out time for each other and make such plans in which you both can share a good quality time. Plan a lunch or dinner date or go for a long drive or can go for a one-day picnic or plan a romantic movie night, this will help you to be with each other and spend time with each other.
2. They make sacrifices:
Thinking just for oneself is called selfishness and thinking for your partner’s feelings and priorities is called true feeling. Life is full of selfish people, and if you get a partner who puts your happiness first then himself/herself is a true blessing. A happy couple makes sacrifices which makes their bond stronger, and they become serious for each other.
Sacrifice in a relationship shows that the other partner loves them seriously and this will strengthen their bond forever. If a partner keeps on putting pressure to follow their rules and regulations, then this makes the other person living in a jail kind of feeling and this kind of relationship never succeeds. So do think of your partner’s feelings and make them believe that you do care and love them unconditionally.
3. They keep their fights private:
A happy couple never involves a third person in their fights. They always try to resolve it by themselves. They keep their arguments and fights in four walls. It is seen that involving a third person for resolution of your fight makes the situation worse. Sometimes it becomes the reason for separations or break-ups also. The reason is we don’t know the third person’s intention, as everyone is living with a fake mask of goodness.
They feel jealous of your relationship, and you give them the power to ruin it badly. So never give the opportunity to another person to make your relationship spoil. It is your responsibility to resolve it as you know each other better and you know the things by doing it your partner gets calm and relaxed.
4. They listen:
We have seen many people who don’t listen to the other person rather they only keep on speaking. They never give their partner the chance to speak and if their partner speaks, they interfere or just ignore them. This makes a very bad impression. This shows that you are not interested in your partner’s thoughts or expressions.
After some time, they stop sharing their thoughts or feelings with you as you always ignore them. So, to be a happy couple just listen to your partner, this makes them feel good and secure that someone is there who listens to me and by this the person can share their each and everything with you without hesitation without keeping any secrets. Be a good listener, this will make your relationship always stronger.
5. They laugh together:
Happy couples always make such things by which they can make their partner laugh. They keep the sense of humor alive in their relationship. You can crack jokes or simply remember such funny memories or moments which you made together. This will help you to strengthen your bond and there will be no space for boringness.
6. They appreciate each other:
Everyone likes appreciation, even a small kid gets happy when we appreciate them. So happy couples always appreciate each other. Appreciation can be in the form of anything like if your partner has achieved something then do appreciate them. If your partner is doing anything for you and your family or kids, then appreciate them or thank them always.
For example, a wife does the part of her responsibility of taking care of household chores, taking care of kids and family and on the other hand a husband takes care of all the expenses of the household and takes all the burden on himself. This really needs big appreciation from both sides. They are doing all such things just because they love you. If your wife prepares your favorite dish appreciate her, if your husband got promoted then do appreciate him. So always appreciate them and express gratitude for everything they are doing for you.
7. They plan for date nights:
Have you ever wondered why the spark in relationship in the beginning never remain the same after sometimes of their relationship, it’s just because you were going on frequent dates earlier and now you got so busy in your responsibilities and day to day work that you even don’t get enough time for each other.
So, plan a romantic date night with each other, this will make you remember the old days and you both get enough time to spend with each other. You get enough time to talk, sit and make new good memories with each other. Those who go on frequent dates never get bored with each other and they maintain a stronger spark in their relationship, and this will make them keep their relationship strengthened by each passing year.
8. Quarrel/disagreement/conflict management:
They manage every disagreement or conflict with maturity and respect. A happy couple makes sure that they never cross the line and maintain a healthy environment in their relationship when any conflict occurs. They respect their partner’s feelings and listen to them rather than ignoring them. They handle fights or disagreements with a calm and relaxed mind and make sure it doesn’t affect their relationship and bond.
The main reason for break ups and separation is that the couple fails to manage any argument or conflict. It is said that one has to compromise in disagreement or conflict. A happy couple always makes sure that their ego or misunderstanding never comes in between their relationship. Never try to win in any argument or disagreement; it will spoil your relationship. If you really love your partner and want to save your relationship, it’s better to lose rather than win. Because this is going to save your relationship and make your bond stronger.
9. They plan their future:
While planning anything you consider or keep your partners view in everything you are about to plan. You both make future plans together. You always make plans for your finances like retirement plans, kids’ marriage and education financial planning, long trip plans or it can be anything be it personal or professional. Planning makes you more serious in your life and it shows that you both are ready to live your whole life with each other. It shows that you both love each other and don’t want to give up on each other. Your partner also feels secure, safe and loved when you prefer their opinion in everything you do.
10. They Never Compare:
Nobody likes comparison because nobody is perfect. Everyone has their unique qualities. So never compare your partner with others. A happy couple appreciates each other’s thoughts, their presence, the things they do for each other. Rather than comparing, they appreciate each other. This thing makes their bond stronger and makes them live happily because they accept their partner the way they are. They accept their partner not only with perfection but also their imperfection, this is called true love.
11. They Give Each Other Space:
Each person has their own freedom. Before coming into your life, the other person has their own life, freedom and individuality. So, we can’t take anyone’s freedom. A happy couple makes sure that they are giving proper space to each other. Stopping and restricting another person will make them suffocate in the relationship and one day they want to get free from this kind of toxic relationship. So never stop your partner from doing the things they love rather support each other.
12. They Respect Each Other:
Respect is the main ingredient of a happy relationship. If there is no respect the relationship becomes toxic and one day, it will lose all the love and spark from it. A happy couple makes sure that they are respecting each other no matter what the situation is. In any argument or conflict, they make sure that their action or voice remains in limits, and they maintain the respect in every possible way.
13. Physical affection and intimacy:
A happy couple keeps the spark of romance and physical intimacy alive. It is important to maintain that spark to keep their relationship bond stronger. They hug and kiss each other after a long tiring day, they say I love you daily, they always kiss goodnight; while leaving for work they make sure to hug and kiss their partner. This physical affection makes them emotionally connected and keep alive their spark in their relationship.
14. Helping Each Other in Their Work:
A happy couple helps each other in every aspect of life, like husband helping her wife in kitchen or household works, cooking together or wife helping husband in supporting in lowering financial burden. This will help in maintaining a stronger bond between each other and make life easier.
Love your Partner unconditionally and give utmost respect and do utmost care of your Partner and never ever compare them and always encourage your Partner and your love life or marriage life become healthier and you feel more love in your life. Never ever take your Partner for granted and always cherish the efforts made by your Partner. You just have to do small efforts, and your life will change forever.
