JAKARTA - Happy couples do intimate habits to build closeness and warmth in the household. Even though every couple has different habits, the moment to close after a day of activities will be very meaningful.

Some couples still get pillow talk after years of marriage. There are those who talk about casual topics to finally make love. There are also those who stare at each other and then fall asleep.

Apart from these two habits, as reported by the Huffington Post, Wednesday, March 3, there are good habits before bed that need to be used as listed below.

Adjust sleep time

Work and other social activities cause couples not to sleep at the same time. This makes communication obstructed. Kurt Smith, a marriage therapist, explains that habitual sleeping habits should be avoided.

Because you have been doing your activities all day, you can only communicate on the bed.

Say the words affectionately

The most cliché is the saying 'I love you'. Words did not mean anything compared to the affectionate treatment of the two. Psychologist Ryan Howes suggests that the word is pronounced with seriousness. Avoid random words because the effect is only meaningless words.

By saying affectionate words, each partner can remind them that they love each other.

Turn off the cell phone

Kari Caroll, a relationship therapist, shares her experiences. Couples who set their own rules, for example by not being allowed to play on their cell phones at night, have good quality relationships and sleep.

By closing the window to the entire virtual world at hand, intimacy will be more intimate and communication will be deeper.

Get into little habits

Saying love without physical touch can be meaningless. Couples can get used to giving romantic kisses to strengthen relationships. This romantic habit has many benefits. In addition to a happy marriage relationship, touch can make you physically healthier.

Build balance

Communication requires a balanced portion. Do not consider the problems that come as trivial but devise solutions together. According to Kurt Smith, every couple needs to listen seriously and understand each other's feelings.

Have some time alone

No matter how busy, time together is a priority for happy couples. Couples will feel more meaningful when they have time to tell stories before bed while making out. Sharing stories is also useful for releasing stress after a day's work.

From the good habits above you can do to build a happy marriage. Is there something you usually do with your partner other than the seven lists above?
