According to an American therapist, couple relationships are polluted by certain patterns. However, good habits would promote good understanding between the couple. Discover some of these positive reflexes!
A close-knit couple generally forms a team. But sometimes, certain behaviors can be very negative in romantic relationships. During her consultations, the American therapist, Amy Morin, whose comments were relayed by the site Psychology Todayobserved a large number of couples.
“I’ve often heard couples say, ‘We do everything right, we have regular date nights, we even know each other’s love language.’ However, our relationship seems to be on the rocks.” What they often don’t realize is that their positive habits cannot completely compensate for harmful behaviors to which they may unconsciously indulge“, revealed the therapist.
With experience, she has observed over the years “that mentally strong couples go beyond cultivating good habits.” They consciously avoid these harmful patterns that could compromise their bond and shape lasting love over the long term. The therapist thus observed that 7 habits that set these couples apart. At first, these couples never ignore important problems.

Set boundaries in the relationship
The couple is not going either keep secrets. Communication is the keystone of the relationship. The two people will also manage to set limits in the relationship : “For example, a partner may need to not respond to text messages during the work day because it interferes with their work. But they also establish boundaries to protect their relationship from outside influences. explained the psychologist. Another important reflex, mentally strong couples do not use their emotions as weapons. “For example, they don’t cry to avoid a difficult conversation, and they don’t scream to get what they want.” she declared.
Then both partners in a strong couple never forget why they fell in love. They also seek to bring out the best in each other and do not try to “fix” their partner. Finally, they do not think that their partner “complete”. “They understand that they have to meet some of their own needs. Whether it’s spending time with friends for recreational companionship or pursuing personal hobbies, they realize they have the ability and flexibility to meet their needs in different ways. concluded the therapist.
