No two couples are going to be the same and while you might like to have a quiet night in, someone else might love to hit up the bar or go running the town. There are different tastes and ideas that different couples have but every kind of couple wants the same thing and that is to find happiness in their relationship. Partners want to have happy partners so that they can have peace and happiness.

No matter what kind of things you like to do, there are some habits that healthy and happy couples have.

Here are some ideas to keep you and your partner going strong:

Say Hi and Bye

Research shows that couples that greet each other have happier relationships. This happens because you are trying your best to see each other on the way out and you aren’t leaving each other behind. These things are seen in happy couples and are important.

Talk During the Day

Another thing that can keep you and your partner happy is to communicate throughout the day. Just say hi over text or a short phone call and it can let your partner know that you are thinking about them and that you are a priority.

One on One Time Together

The couples that are the happiest will spend more than 20 minutes together each day. They do this so that they can talk about their day and they can talk about what is important. This means that you don’t do this while taking care of the kids or watching television, but you do it together and make a conscious effort to spend this time together.

Smile and Laugh

Couples that are happy are ones that laugh and smile a lot. They will send pictures of them doing silly things or tell silly jokes. Whatever makes them laugh is something that will make your partner feel happy. Having a good sense of humor with each other is part of your chemistry.

Sending Compliments

One thing that people often forget to do is to say something nice. Partners that are the happiest are ones that complement each other and one that boost each other’s confidence. Doing this keeps out the negative thoughts and feelings that we pick up during the days. It keeps the relationship on a good note.

Going to Bed Together

One of the things that makes couples the happiest is when they go to bed together. This doesn’t mean that they go to bed together to have sex, which should happen often, but they just settle down together at the end of the day. This makes the couple more intimate with each other.

Knows the Love Language

Knowing your partners love language is one thing that is very important. Couples need to understand the needs of their partner and they can do this if they know the love language. While some people like to complement or share words of kindness, other people need to be touched, hugged, and kissed to feel loved.

Know your partners love language so that you can speak it to them and show them love that they will understand.
