5 sentences that only happy couples say

One look says more than 1,000 words? Maybe, but these 5 sentences tell you whether you are really a happy couple! How often do you say the following sentences to each other? It says a lot about your relationship.

Do happy couples talk to each other differently than unhappy couples? Naturally. And can you really tell from a pronounced sentence how well a relationship is going? Certainly.

Anyone who thinks of "I miss you", "I like to do this for you" or "I forgive you" is already on the wrong Track. Instead, these 5 sets are signs of happy couples:

1. "I don't want that. Instead, I'd rather …"

Saying what you want and what you don't want is one of the most important things in a working relationship. So honesty should be at the top of your list.

But this also includes not being afraid to say what you think, feel, want. It should be possible for you to express your desires and preferences without the other getting direct breathing, just because it is not going as it might have expected.

If you have a hard time with it and just don't want to disappoint the others, you should come up with an alternative proposal after every "I don't want". So you skip the disagreement and deal immediately with the solution or compromise.

2. "I'm serious now."

Humor is an important component in a relationship. Laughing at yourself, the other person or as a couple can raise the mood, weld you together and loosen up stressful situations.

But joke alone does not make a successful partnership. You have to be able to talk to each other seriously about certain things, name them and discuss them.

If everything is taken for granted – including important topics – the other person can quickly arrive as if the topic (or even the partner) is not taken for full. In turn, this can quickly lead to frustration and arguments – and, as is well known, fun can sometimes lead to (unwanted) seriousness …

3. "Get dressed – we'll do something together now!"

The longer you are together, the more often you fall into the empty plans trap. These are the plans that you intend to do with each other – be it a weekend trip ("Sometime in the summer"), a visit to the cinema ("We can see what's going on") or a visit to a restaurant ("There is one opened new. We can try it out soon … ").

It's just stupid that such rough plans are only implemented in the rarest of cases. This is not (only) due to your own laziness or that of your partner, but is often due to the fact that those plans are forged unspecifically.

It is better to make clear announcements. This does not mean that you should order your partner around. But a "On Thursday at 8pm in our cinema The Grinch. Should I ever buy tickets for us? "Exudes more commitment than a" could "," would "," maybe "," sometime "and" have a look. "

4. "Together we can do it."

It is the sentence of all sentences that melts not only women's but also men's hearts: "We can do it!" Okay, admittedly it sounds a bit like Angela Merkel. But in essence it is what each of us wants to hear when he is in a crisis: that everything will be fine. That you don't have to worry. That you don't have to fight the problem alone.

It's about a strong "we", about that "together." True to the motto "A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved", you can rely on your partner and rely on their support.

Anyone who has not only heard this sentence from his partner, but has also said it himself now and then, can count himself lucky. In a world where everyone seems to be fighting for themselves, this support is no longer a matter of course. Cheers to all "we can do it" couples!

5. "You are to me …"

… the rock in the surf? … the best thing that ever happened to me? … the man I want to grow old with? However you would like to complete this sentence, it often touches your partner more than an "I love you."

More individual sentences create a more individual connection. It's not about kitsch, it's about closeness, trust, shared memories.

A "You are the first aid pillow that I need for me" – for example in relation to the last evening of partying together, when the high heels gave up the ghost and the loved one caught one – makes shared experiences immortal. And last but not least, it strengthens the intimate togetherness …
