Several "little actions" that happy couples often do

With the increasingly rapid pace of life and increasing pressures in modern society, it is easy for people to overlook the most basic way to maintain a close relationship with their partners: physical contact. In a relationship's darkest moments, just five minutes of physical touch can restore the emotional connection to a brighter place. Therefore, when the relationship between partners is tense, you might as well use the following tips to help quickly narrow the distance between you.

Hugging is a universal way of giving comfort.

Hugging creates a sense of solidarity and restores confidence in the relationship. So, when you notice your partner is feeling down or preoccupied, give him or her a calming hug.

Hugging your partner from behind is a body language that conveys warmth without making demands.

Surprise your loved one by hugging him or her from behind while he or she is doing daily household chores, such as washing the dishes or sorting the mail.

Kissing, whether it is a gentle kiss or a suffocating long kiss, can make people's blood boil.

There is nothing more intimate than kissing, not even sex. Remember to give your partner a kiss every day when you go out, before you go to bed, or anytime you think of it.

Holding hands is an inexpensive way to show unity and harmony, and to announce to the outside world that you belong to each other.

Holding hands with your spouse may take you back to the early days of dating, when the spark of love was born.

Cuddle up on the couch.

You can cuddle up on the sofa and watch TV instead of sitting separately or with a fruit plate between you. This can turn an ordinary evening into a passionate shared experience and more.

Sleep face to back.

Before falling asleep, press your back against his chest and slowly fall asleep while keeping each other warm. When you feel your partner's entire body pressed against yours, it's simply irresistible, and you're likely to have sex.

Caress your partner's back or shoulders to ease his or her tension.

It's a selfless act, and he appreciates it especially when a woman takes the initiative. Don't forget to massage your feet, which is particularly arousing.

Nighttime sex. When you've had a bad day or just had an argument with your partner, try having sex. This can help get through difficult times or tense moments in a relationship. Get over your resistance and remember that many problems and issues can be solved right in your bedroom, on your bed.
