What are you chasing–stability? Companionship? All-consuming passion?

All of the above?

Successful couples hold a secret ingredient in common: fun.  Time and time again, if you scratch the surface of the couples you like best in your circle, chances are, they have a lot of easy-going fun together. They are playful. They forgive and forget easily, and laughter is the language of love in their house.

Another key ingredient for deep and lasting love? Caring. A true and unselfconscious desire to take care of your partner. This is a critical ingredient, because it affects so many facets of the relationship, touching on respect, support, encouragement, and the ability to put aside your own ego and really understand what your loved one wants and needs. And true caring in a couple nourishes absolute trust.  Who wouldn’t want that in a relationship?

With playfulness and caring firmly established, you can bet these super-successful couples have another ace in pocket–a great sex life. Not just the actual in-bed-with-the-lights-off-and-the-kids asleep kind, but a rich vocabulary of touches and kisses, smiles and gestures…

Love. Worth nurturing special traditions within your partnership to strengthen the bond you share, don’t you think?
