5 Key Ingredients For A Loving Relationship
-
What is the secret recipe for a strong and loving relationship? After looking into 35 studies and 12,273 individual reports, researchers from the University of Illinois have identified five key ingredients that strengthen relationships.
Couples who use any of these maintenance strategies are more satisfied with and committed to their relationship; they are also more likely to continue to love each other. So make sure your relationship has plenty of these:
1
Openness
"Opening up" your relationship includes being honest to your partner about your feelings as well as getting him to talk about his.
2
Positivity
Positivity entails being a "fun" person and being upbeat and cheerful, even if it's something as simple as sending a humorous text to make him laugh.
3
Assurances
It is important to assure your partner that you're in the relationship for the long haul.
4
Shared tasks
This means dividing household chores and responsibilities equally.
5
Shared social network
Make an effort to include your partner's friends and family in some of your activities.
