THEY SHOW APPRECIATION

Happy couples appreciate each other. Appreciation is a wonderful feeling and sometimes we neglect to tell our partner because we assume they already know how much we appreciate them. Recognizing that you appreciate your partner will motivate them to keep doing their best.

They Eat Together

Happy couples eat together. Food is sexy, fun and social. Some people show love through cooking and serving their partners (both sexes). So cook together, eat together in or out, get take out ... whatever. Just spend that time together.

They Sleep Together

I mean in the literal sense. Go to bed together as often as you can. Share that time, it's probably one of the most intimate moments of the day you'll have together. It's a great time to relax, communicate, feel safe being vulnerable and well ... you can take it from there.

They Have Friends

Happy couples have healthy relationships with friends. We need friends to spend time with as a couple. We also need to spend time with friends without our partner. We all need friends in our life. Isolation is yucky. Don't do it. It's also important to find a balance of friend time to couple time.

They Share the Work

Happy couples share the work and the chores. Chores have absolutely no gender assignment. Chores are gender neutral. Everyone needs to do their part. Sharing these responsibilities makes everyone feel so good.
