Keeping a relationship healthy and stable involves hard work from both sides. Below are what healthy couples do differently every day that make enable them to effectively go through challenges, thrive, and stay together for good.

They communicate.

Communication is free and easy, and is vital to any kind of relationship, most importantly romantic relationship. Happy and healthy couples communicate on a daily basis, no matter how busy they are. Not communicating can lead to misunderstanding which could spark big issues. Don’t last a day without talking to your partner. Simply letting him or her know your plans for the day is a great way to keep the lines open.

They spend time together.

It doesn’t matter if it’s just for thirty minutes or so, but happy couples spend quality time with each other every day. No matter how busy you both are, make it a priority to have precious moments together. It is the bond between two people in love that strengthen their relationship and deepen their affection to each other. On weekends, make the quality time longer. Consider traveling together and doing different things together. Making more memories for the years to treasure is surely going to add more spark in your relationship.

They know it’s more than words.

It is not necessary that we say “I love you” every day to our partners. As what a popular song says – it should be more than words. Showing how much you love your partner can be done in plenty of ways. Doing an errand for them, kissing them before you leave for work, hugging them tight, and doing random acts of ‘sweetness’ are powerful ways to show how much you love your significant other.

They cuddle.

Going to bed together doesn’t always mean having sex. You can simply lie down with your partner and cuddle. According to a study published in the journal Biological Psychology, smelling your partner while cuddling has a positive effect on your relationship.

They touch and hug more.

Even if cuddling doesn’t end up with sex, touching and hugging provides great benefit to your relationship. Research shows that they trigger your body to release the kind of feel-good hormones that improve your mood and strengthen your attachment to your partner.

They plan their future together.

Happy couples engage in deep and meaningful conversations on future plans for your lives together. Being a couple means you are a team. A solid team. Make everything happen together. Planning for the future makes your bond stronger and enriches your journey.

They have pillow talk.

Each night, before you switch off the lights and head to sleep, spend a few minutes talking about your day at work and other positive experiences you had. Pillow talks should be spent on positive conversations so you fall asleep feeling relaxed and wake up feeling energised.

There is no perfect relationship, that’s true. But there can be one happy, healthy and really thriving relationship. By incorporating these simple daily habits in your relationship, you can expect bigger love and connection between you and your partner.
