Keep your relationship happy and healthy is easy , Here are 4 thing's you can do right now

If you take a “glass half full” look at relationship statistics, 60 percent of people who get married stay that way. Here are 4 ways to help make sure you’re part of that 60 percent:

 

  • Use terms of endearment. A study found that the more pet names a couple has for each another, the higher their level of marital satisfaction. That’s because pet names are something only the two of you share, which helps you feel bonded.
  • Successful couples have hobbies in common. research shows that the amount of time partners spend engaged in pleasant activities is one of the biggest predictors of marital success. And it can be as simple as cooking together. Time spent doing things together, is an "investment in the relationship"
  • They stay connected to their parents. Relationship experts agree that when couples feel like they’re part of an extended family, they’re less likely to split up. But there’s one exception – the couple shouldn’t turn to their family first in times of happiness or sadness. Those things should be shared with your partner first.
  • Successful couples take "for better or for worse" seriously. when the going gets tough, couples that stay together act like a team. They don’t say, “How could you let that happen?" when a spouse loses a job. Couples who survive don’t do things that increase their partner's suffering. They take on problems with a team mentality – so each person feels like there’s always someone who has their back.
