Know How To Say Sorry And Mean It

In big or small ways, partners step on each other’s toes all the time. When two people come together to form a family, there will definitely be misunderstandings and arguments. Having the humility and maturity to recognize your role in your partner’s pain is essential for a long-term relationship. When conflict happens, instead of saying “I’m sorry” half-heartedly, aim for an apology that expresses empathy for your partner, takes responsibility for your wrongdoings and shows that you’re working to change the behavior.

They Balance “ME” Time And “WE” Time

Healthy couples have both closeness and independence. They take space to pursue a life outside their partner. While couples enjoy their “we” time to bond and connect with each other, they also respect each other’s “me” time. They are able to balance separateness and togetherness. They can enjoy feeling close to each other, but are also able to feel satisfied and fulfilled in the separate dimensions of their lives.

Going To Bed Together 

This doesn't mean that you both have to fall asleep. But at least wind the night down and get into the bed at the same time. This gives you the opportunity to close the day together, engage in pillow talk are all things that can increase emotional and physical intimacy, and keep your relationship going strong.
