How To Be A Perfect Couple

Ever wonder how those perfect couples do it? You know, the ones that are always staring lovingly into each others eyes? Well follow these simple rules and you’ll know how too…

Don’t Control Each Other

You’re both individuals so don’t try and control or influence the way they think – let them be them.

Treat Your Partner Like You Do Your Friends

We wouldn’t dream of treating our friends the way we treat our partners sometimes, remember this.

Don’t Assume The Worst

If he didn’t make an important event, don’t assume he doesn’t care – perhaps he didn’t realise it was so important to you? Spell out your feelings clearly and don’t expect your partner to be a mind reader!

Silence Is Not Golden

Keeping quiet while you calm down is fine, holding this silence for anymore than 12 hours is not. Talk. If you don’t, you’ll let the argument go on too long.

Do Anything & Everything Together

Spend plenty of time together (but not too much). Even if it’s mundane things such as grocery shopping or housework, it all counts. Make sure you set out plenty of ‘you two’ time during your week to keep your relationship alive.

Touch Each Other

Both in a sexual and affectionate way. Make sure you know the difference and keep it appropriate!

Don’t ‘Push’ Their Buttons

You probably know what upsets your partner or what insecurities they have. Try avoiding these at all costs – especially in a heated disagreement.

Honesty Isn’t Always The Best Policy

There is a time and a place to be honest and doing it when you’re mad isn’t one of them. Don’t express every sexual thought you have about others or things you know will hurt your partner’s feelings – keep them to yourself.

Put Yourself In Your Partner’s Shoes

Regularly put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel if you were them? Trying to understand things from their perspective will certainly have a positive impact on your relationship.

Don’t Do All The Work

If you’re the one doing all the work in the relationship sit back for a while and let your partner take their turn. If you’ve done all the work for a long time you may need to ease them into this…
