Happy couples have these 10 habits

The Gender Relationship Research Group at the University of Michigan has conducted long-term investigations on couple relationships since 1986 and summarized the "Ten Good Habits of Happy Couples."

1. Go to bed at the same time. Try to keep the habit of going to bed at the same time. If you stick to it for a month, you can improve your relationship and sex life. Going to bed together not only increases the chances of sex, but also allows you to chat or fall asleep sweetly in each other's arms. The bed is a warm harbor that can create a happy marriage.

2. Walk side by side or holding hands. Surveys show that couples who hold hands while walking are happier than those who walk one after the other. Walking side by side increases physical contact and the time for sharing and communication, making you feel like you are romantically "growing old together."

Speak more encouraging words and less criticism

3. Say more encouraging words and less criticism. Studies have found that happy couples do not criticize or blame each other. Instead, they encourage each other and constantly make changes on their own. In the new year, discover more of each other's strengths and say some compliments. Both husband and wife should be responsible for their own behavior, actions and words.

Hug each other

4. Hug each other. Human skin is sensitive and can differentiate between “good touch” (being loved), “bad touch” (being abused), and “no touch” (being ignored). Giving your lover a hug when you meet him or her can bring both of you closer and increase the chances of sex.

Cultivate common interests

5. Cultivate common hobbies. Don’t underestimate the importance of attending activities together as a couple. When the passion fades, common interests make you more willing to be with each other. At the same time, you should also cultivate your own hobbies, which will increase your partner's interest in you.

Keep saying "good night"

6. Keep saying "good night". No matter what your mood is, insist on saying "good night" to your partner. This is to convey to your partner that you value this relationship no matter what happens.

Show affection

7. Show affection. Happy couples are always happy to express their intimacy in public, sometimes with some intimate actions. This is not a show, but a declaration that they belong to each other.

Planning Sex

8. Plan sex. Enjoying sex together is the happiest moment for a couple. Make plans for sex, arrange date times, go on vacation... In short, you must take sex seriously.

Say “thank you” more often

9. Say “thank you” more often. Happy couples use words like "great" and "wonderful" to describe their relationship, and often say "thank you" and "I'm happy" to their partners to express their feelings.

Solve minor problems promptly

10. Solve small problems in a timely manner. Studies have found that happy couples pay attention to solving small problems. They don't let these small problems accumulate and eventually lead to major problems in the marriage.
