You may have encountered many happy couples in your life and you may envy their relationship. If you look a little further, you will see that many of our parents are still in love and living happily with each other for years. What do they do differently and what do all these couples have in common?

In many of the respondents, according to marriage counselors, every couple lists different things about the success of their relationship, but what stands above all is one and only one: they talk to each other. It means talking to your partner and listening to what he has to say. So what do happy couples do every day? It's very easy:

Happy couples communicate with each other!

Communication can often seem boring, tedious, but in fact it is quite necessary because it avoids many problems that may arise from its absence. So, if you want to maintain a healthy and happy relationship, here is what you need to do to have successful communication.

Express needs and feelings at all times. There is no way for your partner to know what you like, what bothers you or how this relationship will be, if you do not say so. Openly express your feelings and thoughts - even if you are happy or upset - this way you will be on the same path of communication. Remember that the person you are associating with is not a mind reader (no one is), so you need to learn new things about yourself and about him.
