3 Healthy Habits that Make a Happy Couple

Couples fight and relationships fall apart every day for a plethora reasons. Whether you live in a conservative town like Bountiful, Utah, or in a liberal city on the East Coast, relationships go through many stresses. Seeking couples therapy can be a solution that helps save a relationship, but practicing three simple habits on a daily basis can also be the key to a happy relationship. 

Make Uninterrupted Time for Each Other 

First, making time for your partner each day is important. Whether it’s for five minutes or an hour, a couples’ happiness relies on spending time together and it’s more than important that this time is uninterrupted. That means you and your partner only—no distractions. 

Work and technology make uninterrupted time seem impossible to find, but a happy couple overcomes this challenge, resulting in a healthier overall relationship with stronger bonds of friendship and trust. Often, couples therapy will suggest a similar approach when attempting to solve relationship problems.

‘Good Touch’

Simply hugging one another as soon as you see each other after work is a simple gesture that goes a long way. Happy couples get into this daily habit because our skin has memory. It recognizes “good touch,” reflecting love, as well as “no touch,” which reflects neglect. 

Saying hello with a hug is a habit shared in couples therapy and a common trait of happy couples. So after a long day of work in downtown Bountiful, make sure to greet your partner with a hug when you return home. 

The Power of Words 

The third trait of a happy couple lies in the words shared between you and your partner. Saying “”Good night” every night is a simple practice of happy couples that is often underestimated. Regardless of how you or your partner feels that day, even if one is upset, these words should be told every night. 

Just two words such as “good night” hold great power. This tells your partner that your relationship is bigger than any upsetting incident. Whether you live in Bountiful or elsewhere, healthy habits can make a happy couple.
