Secrets of Happy Couples - You Can Learn to Have It

Do you ever wonder how those happy couples do it? Do they share some secret that nobody else knows? Would you like to know how to maintain the in-love feeling over the long haul? Sometimes it seems like happy couples are rare, but you can learn to be part of one, too.

Secret 1 - You will have to be willing to work at it.

Couples who have been together for decades will admit that it's not easy to be with one person for that long. But, it is worth it to have a solid, lifelong relationship. Both partners have to be willing to put in some work. This might mean making compromises.

Remember why you wanted to be with him in the first place. And ask him to try to remember why he is with you. You can maintain an appreciation for each other if you don't forget that those personal qualities that you were first attracted to are just as special now.

Secret 2 - It's all about communication.

Happy couples know that being able to talk to each other is of paramount importance. It doesn't matter whether you are mad, disappointed, or not in the mood to listen. Once you calm down, you need to be able to talk things through. If you can't, resentment and misery will set in.

Communication doesn't always come naturally. This might be one of those areas that require a lot of work. You both need to help to create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable coming to each other with problems. You also both need to remember to talk about the good things as well. Reinforce to each other why you are in love.

Secret 3 - Stick with it through good and bad.

There will be good times, and you should appreciate those, rather than taking them for granted. There will also be times that are not so good, and yet others where you will wonder why you ever got together in the first place.

You should both be prepared to work things out even when times are tough. Every couple goes through ups and downs, and you should be ready and willing to work through the rough patches. When you both know that you'll be there for each other no matter what, you will be one of those "happy couples."
