8 Things Happy Couples Don’t Do

Sometimes, building a
solid healthy relationship isn't just about what partners
do, but what they don't do.
Here are 8 things that you won't find in the habits of
happy couples.
1. Discourage each other.
Two people who love and care for each other would
never attempt to discourage their partner or hold them
back in life. They encourage and
support each other
when it comes to chasing after goals and dreams.
Holding someone else back while in a relationship will
only lead to resentment in the long run — ironically,
loosening your grip often keeps someone closer.
2. Play mind games.
Even something as simple as "how long do I wait
before I call?" goes out the window when you're with
the right person who is mature and understands you.
Call when you want to call, text when you want to text.
There will be no games or manipulation when building
a solid foundation for a relationship.
3. Doubt each other's feelings.
In a happy relationship, both partners know how much
they mean to each other. Open communication and
affection are important to minimizing insecurities and
doubts.
4. Stop trying.
You know you've found a quality partner when they
keep showing you how much you mean to them… long
after they've got you.
5. Brush issues under the rug.
No relationship is sunshine and rainbows all the time,
but the challenges you face together are what make you
stronger, both as individuals and as a couple. No
problem can be extinguished unless it is faced, and
couples who care for each other will be mature enough
to have mature discussions and reach a conclusion.
When feelings are hidden, the other partner won't know
what they need to do or change in order to keep the
other happy, so nothing will improve.
6. Snoop around.
One of the key ingredients to a happy relationship is
trust, and people who trust each other don't invade each
others' privacy by snooping around. There should be no
need for a password protected phone or deleting your
Facebook chat history. Trusting couples should be open
books to one another and will have no use for being
sneaky.
7. Dig up the past.
We all have a past that has shaped us into who we are
today. Some experiences for better, and others for
worse. Happy, mature couples understand that about
each other and don't use each others' pasts as
ammunition in arguments or to start issues.
8. Let things get stale.
Both inside and outside of the bedroom, it's important
that neither partner gets bored or feels as though things
are getting stale. Often times intimacy in the bedroom
is actually built outside of it through romantic gestures,
showing of appreciation and affection, and always
letting your partner know how much they mean to you.
Happiness in relationships is built on communication,
trust, loyalty, and mutual respect. These are some of the
cornerstones of love — without one, the other cannot
exist.
