Cooperation, forgiveness, and gratitude: 5 rules for happy couples1. Interdependence
We have been taught to be ashamed of our need for intimacy and love, even though these needs are inherent in us biologically. In a healthy relationship, partners give each other care and emotional intimacy.
2. Collaboration
In happy couples, partners help each other rather than compete, and discuss disagreements in open dialogue rather than argument.
3. Admitting mistakes.
It's more than just not being afraid to admit mistakes. Experts note that in happy unions, partners tend to apologize if they feel they have hurt their partner.
4. Appreciation
When you are appreciated, it helps you not feel unloved or lonely, it brings you closer and is healing.
5. Forgiveness
Even perfect partners hurt each other. But in a healthy relationship, partners don't procrastinate in resolving problems that have arisen between them and do so in a constructive manner.
