1.🛠 Solve problems
Scientists say that nothing strengthens relationships more than overcoming difficulties and achieving goals together. It increases the level of trust between partners, forms a joint positive experience, helps to get closer and learn a lot of new things about each other.
Therefore, if you need to solve some problem related to the future, do not take on it alone - it is better to develop an action plan together
2.👋 Hold hands
Don't miss the opportunity to take your partner's hand. There is evidence that this will not only strengthen your bond, but also help you cope with stress and negative emotions.
3.😿 Don't be afraid to be vulnerable
Feel free to tell your partner about your fears and problems, negative emotions and memories. If he sincerely treats you, he will not only not judge you, but will do everything to reassure and support you.
By showing your own vulnerability, you make the relationship more sincere, honest and intimate, making it clear to your partner that you trust and rely on him - and this brings you even closer together.
4.📋 Plan together
When we make plans, our stress and anxiety levels decrease, and life seems to become a little simpler and more predictable. This evokes pleasant emotions.
The easiest way to share them with your partner is to start planning together.It's better if it's something pleasant: a joint vacation, celebrating an anniversary, or the next date.
5.🍽 Try new things
Boredom and routine can destroy any relationship. Therefore, psychologists advise couples to spend their free time as varied as possible.
Walk in unfamiliar places, try unusual food, go to concerts of unknown artists, make occasional forays out of town - somewhere you haven’t been before.
6.📖 Spend more time together
Research shows that couples who spend a lot of time together tend to be stronger.
And it doesn’t matter what they are doing: watching TV shows, cooking, cleaning or playing sports. The main thing is to maintain a positive attitude and not swear.
7.😍 Notice the good
In one experiment, 20 married couples spent a month consciously focusing on the positive aspects of their relationship.
To do this, they wrote letters of gratitude to each other, described the strengths of their couple, recalled positive moments in the history of the relationship and made a list of what they would like to do together.
A month later, the relationship in these couples improved. They were more likely to rate their relationships as fulfilling than couples who did not complete the tasks
