What makes a happy relationship ?

 What's the “secret” to having a great relationship? Why are some couples happier than others? Is there something about the way they interact that makes it obvious they have a unique and genuine connection?

Even if you’re in a good relationship, you can’t help but wonder: What do they know that I don’t? And if you’re single, you might look at happy couples and narrow it all to either chemistry or destiny.

However it turns out that people in great relationships live by a few basic rules and they make these rules a priority in their day-to-day lives together.

Real relationships take effort, time and commitment. A happy relationship doesn’t just happen because two people love each very much, great relationships happen because not only do two people love each other very much, they also value one another and are willing to make an investment of time and energy into building a happy relationship – day after day.

Consider these habits that can help you create a strong, nurturing relationship.

* A happy relationship is based on realistic expectations

* A happy relationship requires work and thoughtfulness

* A happy relationship values communication

* A happy relationship turns negatives into positives
