YOGYAKARTA Many couples plan together with their girlfriends to build a more fun romantic relationship at the beginning of the year. If you and your partner are included, does it have a resolution for the next year? According to the professor of communication health in the Kory Floyd family, Ph.D., it is important to maintain the following resolution for romantic couples.

In a series of experiments conducted by psychologist Art Aron and his colleagues, it shows that couples who carry out exciting and encouraging activities together, experience an increase in the sense of closeness and satisfaction of the relationship. But not just any attractivity can be done. That means couples need to 'play' together by reviving physical arousal, Aron suggested.

People who have long-term relationships and feel satisfied with their relationships live longer. Humor is one of the keys. For people, humor is useful to help relieve stress, relieve tensions that lead to conflict, and allow presenting difficult topics to discuss or not.

Listening is an important skill to have. Not only listen passively, but listen to also understand and respond appropriately and effectively. This skill is more difficult, but can be learned consistently.

Resolution comes from Floyd's laboratory, reported by Psychology Today, Tuesday, January 20. He found that receiving and expressing messages of affection increases the closeness and health of the relationship. If you become a lover, express more often in the way you feel most comfortable.

Research shows that couples who practice religious beliefs are more satisfied and more committed to their relationship than couples who do not practice religious beliefs. That is, whatever religious traditions are carried out, consider building and renewing ties with the religious community around you and your partner.

Communication technology is a gift to maintain social relationships, but can interfere with intimate relationships. New research shows that the presence of smart devices when conversations meet face to face reduces satisfaction with the conversation. Therefore, a resolution to limit device access while with a partner is important to maintain.

For many people, forgiveness is a difficult thing. Although sometimes hurting each other whether intentional or not, forgiveness is important to do. Instead of containing the disappointment that is being held is getting more and more painful, it is better to forgive each other.

The seven resolutions in the above romantic relationships may be irrelevant to you and your partner. But at least it is maintained to make the new year a happy moment and support well-being going forward.
