What Makes a Great Couple

Throughout history, we have seen it time after time, two people interacting with one another; in the beginning there was Adam and Eve, Bonnie and Clyde, Ronald and Nancy Reagan and your parents. This article will explore several ways on how to become a great couple.

Let’s begin to look at some components that lay the foundation for a great team. Always remember that a team is more than one person and to be great, a couple must work together from day one and even into their golden years together. One component that will always work is the way each of you communicate. Communication is the mainstay in all successful relationships; when conversing show respect, understanding and fairness.

The next component could be respect for yourself and each other. Having little or no respect can destroy a relationship, because one may always feel on the defensive and this condition may cause stress between one another.

A favorite component of mine is non-verbal expression; This is done by doing thoughtful gestures such as leaving notes in morning on bathroom mirror, opening car door, holding hands and cuddling on the couch. Notice that all those suggestions were free and the value can not be measured in terms of love and happiness.

Finally, try to be spontaneous. Many couples as they get older tend to settle down in a ho-hum life; the adventure and excitement may be few and far between. Do things that will improve both of your lives and create moments that may define your relationship such as a Gondola ride, sky-diving, water rafting, a trip to desolate island etc. or basic things like a summer cruise, apple picking or cutting down your own holiday tree.

The main goal in making a couple great is simple it’s YOU!

Good Luck !!
