The difference between happy and unhappy couples is the balance between positive and negative interactions during a conflict. However, negative interactions can happen in healthy marriages. For instance, body language like eye-rolling is one of the most powerful negative interaction because it holds emotional power.

In marriage, it is essential to repair the minor and major negative interaction between couples. It helps to maintain the intimacy in our relationship.

Demonstrate that they matter

The smallest things often matter the most. In a relationship, the small acts that show you care is a powerful way to enhance positivity. Even if there are times that you disagree, demonstrate that you are putting your spouse’s interests on par with yours, to prove that you care about them.

Find balance in the argument

More often than not, whenever a couple fights, they often focus on the negative parts and hurting the other instead of coming to an agreement. As such, the couple should seek opportunities to express themselves whilst still taking care of their partner’s feelings. It shows that you see your partner’s viewpoint as valid and you care about them.

Express affection

It is important to express affection in a relationship such as holding hands, hugs or through simple gestures. Any physical and verbal affection between couples could reduce tension and stress. At the same time, it also helps bring both of you closer together. 

Apologize & Empathize

Apologizing is one of the deepest forms of human connection because it shows that you understand your partner’s feelings. Once you choose to express empathy towards your partner, he/she will surely feel better. It is a profound connection between couples when you learn to apologize and empathize in a relationship.

So how balanced is your relationship with your partner?

It is important to create a positive interaction for every negative interaction in order to build a healthy relationship with your partner. At the same time, do remember to find a way to joke around to maintain the happiness, respect, and appreciation that you have for your partner. After all, there is a reason why you chose to spend the rest of your life with them.
