3. They’re curious about each other.
It’s easy to be curious about each other when you first meet. You can ask each other questions for hours and never once feel bored. But as time passes, try to keep those questions coming — even if you know your spouse almost as well as you know yourself.
Happy couples are genuinely interested in each other’s lives both as individuals and as a unit.
Sure, being curious means asking your partner about her day and what she thought of that movie you just watched, but it also means asking the bigger questions now and then, too: How have things changed over the years?
Do you want your — or our — life to be different? How can we continue to grow as a couple?What dream do you still hope to achieve?
By keeping this particular door of communication open, you’re able to maintain another amazing feeling of early love: surprise.
