Healthy Relationships: 5 Habits of Truly Cool Couples
Tips to make your relationship thrive.
Four years ago, during a normal day at the office, my friend Sarah went to the kitchen and a nice guy approached her. She knew he liked her, as she had caught him staring at her a few times. He was nervous, and she could see it. So she did her best to make him feel at ease.
They had a short and pleasant conversation that afternoon, then chatted on Messenger for a few days, and after a week they went on their first date.
Fast forward to today, they are one of the coolest couples I’ve ever met.
I’ve asked Sarah how they can make such a perfect couple.
She answered their relationship is far from being perfect, as they came from different backgrounds and have arguments from time to time — all couples do. However, they know how to communicate and healthily resolve conflict.
She then shared with me what in her opinion are the points of strength of her relationship with James, her boyfriend.
