'Thank You' Strengthening Your Couple Connections

A study from the University of California, Berkeley, revealed that just by saying 'thank you' to your partner, you can create a happy and harmonious relationship. As reported by the Daily Mail, 'thank you' is the word "magic" which is often overlooked. Though these two words is a form of respect for each other. Although sound trivial, these two words have a positive impact in many marriages. "The feeling appreciated by the couple will influence the attitudes and actions against the couple. Rasa will also affect how much you want to live with him happily," said Amie Gordon, one of the researchers. The study involved 50 participants with higher educational status and have a partner for 15 months. They were asked to fill out questionnaires every night for a whole week. This questionnaire contains questions about their relationship as a couple and also about the attitude of mutual respect between partners. Nine months later, study participants were again given the same question about their relationship. From the results of this study obtained data, that when one partner feels valued partner, the next day they will come back to appreciate their partner. And within nine months later, the visible presence of feelings of mutual respect between partners so that they have a stronger commitment to each other.  The team examined the couples between the ages of 18-60 years. Especially for the elderly, they choose someone who has been married more than half their age to be monitored daily activities. For example, how they interact with each other, how often they come into contact, eye contact, and chatting casually. The results revealed that the more often couples understand and care about each other, they will feel more valued and more happy in life. Expression of gratitude itself is not necessarily expressed in words. Some simple behaviors such as leaning into your partner when speaking, making eye contact, give a gentle touch, is also considered as a way of expressing thanks in a non-verbal. However, one of the common mistakes made when one spouse is started frequently demanding. Demands would make the couple feel disrespected. Instead, say thank you with sincerity will help you realize what you have. "Because he's already become the property of life, you forget what made you choose to live with him," he said. If you appreciate and see the positive value in a mate, it's good to always be aware of what you have, and thank him as often as possible in various ways. Respect will help improve the quality of life for your wedding.
