1. Perform Random Acts of Kindness
Doing small gestures that say “I’m thinking of you” are essential to keep your relationship bond strong – e.g. filling up her tank with gas or brewing him coffee in the morning. Hand holding and sending midday love emails are also small ways of showing affection. Research also shows that performing small gestures frequently has a greater impact on couple happiness compared with grand, but less frequent gestures.

2. Grow and Change Together
Just like you, your relationship is something that needs nourishment to develop and grow – and that best way to nurture it well is to infuse it with change. Introducing change into a relationship is believed to be a key factor to couple happiness. These changes can be small, but it should break your routine. You can take a leave from work and do something fun together, such as visiting a nearby museum or tourist spot. You can also try something new like going on a meditation retreat or taking a water-skiing class together.

3. Get to Know Each Other’s Family and Friends
A research found that men, in particular, are happier when their partner has a good relationship with his family and friends. Also, couples who accept and make an effort to know each other’s friends are said to be happier than couples with separate friends and family lives.

Practising positive behaviours and incorporating small changes in your relationship is what will help in making it better. So be sure to use the aforementioned tips to help you further deepen your bond with your significant other and become a happier couple.
