1. SEE THE BEST IN YOUR PARTNER AND THE
RELATIONSHIP Research on perception and attention
shows that we see more of what we look for, so if you’re
looking for signs of kindness, that’s more likely to stand out
to you. How you think about and interpret your partner’s
actions, intentions, and words also affects how you feel and
understand a situation with them, which in turn affects
how you behave toward them. Put it into practice: Spend a
week looking for anything and everything your partner
does “right.” You can even jot down anything you notice
for each day if you choose.
2. HAVE FUN Couples who engage in exciting and enjoyable
activities together have greater relationship satisfaction
from before to after the shared activity. As several studies
have shown, couples who play together stay together . Put it
into practice: Choose an activity with your partner that
you’ve never done together before that you would both find
engaging and fun, such as taking dancing lessons, staying
the night at a new town and exploring it, or indoor
skydiving. You can also try something with your partner
that he or she enjoys that you’ve never done before. What
else is related to long-term passionate love? Sexual
intimacy, shared affection, and happiness in life.
3. HAVE GOOD SEX Increasing research is pointing to a
great sex life as predicting better relationship satisfaction—
but not the other way around. One such study published in
the Journal of Family Psychology examined data from
hundreds of couples to determine the relationships among
sexual satisfaction, marital quality, and marital instability
at midlife.
