5 tips for a happy family relationship
id: 10054509

1. Learn and practice the language of love.
Have you heard of the book “The Five Love Languages” before? If not, then in short, this book argues that everyone chooses to give and receive love in five different languages: physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation, service, and gifts. What makes one person in a relationship feel loved is not necessarily what makes their partner feel loved.
By knowing and understanding your partner's love language, you can show each other love in the way that is right for them, which will help strengthen your relationship. How can you understand this? Either buy the book, or just take a few more tips...

2. Every night for a week, write down three qualities you value in your partner.
Intentionally focusing on the positive gives us a more accurate view of reality and makes relationships much more enjoyable. The point is to schedule the practice in your planner so that it becomes mandatory. You should practice gratitude right before bed to reduce stress and anxiety in your life and increase the chances that you will wake up in a good mood.

3. Make time to date each other.
If you've been together for more years than you can count, you're probably well past that stage of getting to know each other and getting emotional with each other when you first got married. And, of course, you may not have as many candlelit dinner dates as you used to before you got the responsibilities of life. However, just as you have changed during your time together, so has your partner. Meet with each other regularly.

4. Tell your partner when you feel happy.
We often walk around feeling stressed, distracted, or anxious, and this shows in our facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. Because your partner loves you and always monitors your moods and reactions, he may feel like he is doing something wrong.
It is vitally important to create an open and kind atmosphere for communication with your one and only, and even more important to express not only your disappointments and dissatisfaction, but also your joys. Sharing your happiness out loud—with eye contact and a smile—will remind your partner that it's not that bad and that it's not their fault. This is an extremely powerful, yet simple practice for establishing a deep emotional connection with your partner.

5.Set common goals.
Just like you set personal goals for yourself or your career, relationships should also have goals. Take time to describe how you feel, what is important to you, and how you are willing to work together to be happier and make your marriage as strong as possible.
Goals should be related to areas of your relationship where you see opportunities for growth. By creating and achieving these goals together, you will strengthen your connection and the future of your relationship.
