So what if we want to build a strong and happy relationship?

In this article you will find some simple and effective, but not always obvious tips.

⚪️React to your partner

Dr. John Gottman's research indicates that family unions are successful, where partners respond to requests for communication in approximately 86% of cases. Couples who divorce sooner or later do so in only 33% of cases.

If you want your relationship to last, always pay attention to what your partner is saying or doing. Studies show that it's not at all that divorced couples often quarrel - no, the fact is that they showed very little affection and emotional reactions towards each other, and this is what ultimately led to the breakdown relationships.

⚪️Appreciate and care for each other

The happiest relationships are based on two skills: the ability to find common ground and the ability to respect differences.

Partners who invest 100% in the relationship inevitably see each other mostly in a positive light. No matter if they are near or on different parts of the planet, they still think about the positive qualities of their other halves and express their love in all available ways.

⚪️Always put your relationship first

This means that the desires and needs of a partner for you mean no less than your own. Oh, that doesn't mean you have to satisfy them to your own detriment. But you need to be able to listen to what your partner wants from you. It is important that he knows that their implementation is very important for your happiness.

⚪️Nurture love and respect

Happy couples feel sincere, deep gratitude to their partners. They not only love each other, but also truly respect each other, even during quarrels and disagreements (and maybe, especially during quarrels and disagreements).

"Healthy relationships are built on unshakable trust," said Bo Mirchoff.

⚪️Become best friends

If you have all the above qualities, then you will easily understand why people in happy couples sincerely believe that they could not connect their lives with a better person than the one with whom they are close.

If your relationship is connected not only with love, but also with true friendship, they will be able to withstand even a terrible storm. Couples who have grown a true friendship are not afraid of trials, and sometimes just laugh together right in their faces.
A romantic relationship can be called full-fledged only if you can tell each other everything, from beginning to end - without secrets and lies.

⚪️In the event of a conflict, always try to find out the cause

Before happy couples take active action to solve common problems, they try to look at them from each other's point of view. They understand how important it is to understand each other's emotions before trying to tackle the problems themselves.

⚪️Realize that you are still an individual

Yes, you and your partner are inextricably linked on many issues, especially intimacy and comfort ... But you still need to be independent enough not to forget about your own interests, and to express your point of view openly, politely and honestly - even if your partner doesn't like it.

⚪️Keep calm, stable and safe

Stable and secure relations are like the surface of a huge lake. If there is no stability or security in the relationship, they are more like a roller coaster with huge ups and downs.
