Shappy coupleI couldn’t get in to blog today until now so this is brief but good.

A number of years ago, I found this on a website, Thirdage.com.  It’s simple but true.

This is what happy couples do…

  1. Go to bed at the same time.
  1. Cultivate common interests
  1. Walk hand in hand or side by side.
  1. Make trust and forgiveness your default.
  1. Focus on what your partner does right not wrong.
  1. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work.
  1. Say “I love you” and “Have a good day” every morning.
  1. Say goodnight every night regardless of how you feel.
  1. Do a “weather” check during the day.
  1. Be proud to be seen with your partner.

Are you a happy couple?
