Body language of happy couples

Scenario 1: Kissing and hugging

Love signal: A gentle kiss that lingers on the cheek tells the other person: I'm glad to meet you! If other parts of the body join in the welcome ceremony, the message will be further strengthened. For example: A big, tight hug reflects wholehearted affection.

Red flag: Stiff, tightly pursed lips suggest a stressful mood and a desire to avoid intimacy. When hugging, if you deliberately keep an appropriate distance between your bodies, it means that you are doing it out of obligation rather than emotion.

Scenario 2: Argument

Love signals: The body language of a happy couple when they are arguing is very different from that of an unhappy couple. They may look angry, but they are also engaged; their bodies are facing each other and they are constantly looking into each other's eyes. This body language says “We have to fix this now!”

Red flag: Some body language signals that a couple's problems extend far beyond the immediate argument. The psychiatrist said: 'When he suddenly turned around and glared at her, he may have subconsciously wanted to threaten her and make her shut up. If her head turns, her eyes wander, and her arms are folded across her chest, she has made it clear: "What you say is not worth my attention!" If he has a blank expression on his face and his eyes are looking at the corner of the room, he is no longer listening but is thinking about how to get out! This may be the worst signal of all.

Situation 3: Eating at a restaurant

Love signs: It is easy to tell whether a young couple is married in a restaurant. Generally, men and women in love always ignore the existence of food. The girl will hold her cheek with her hand and look at the other person, while the man, since he has a beautiful woman to eat, has already regarded fine wine and delicious food as dirt and talks freely. Married people are different. When the food is served, they pick up their chopsticks and eat it heartily. They don’t look at each other until they have finished eating, which means it’s time to pay the bill and leave. This is common practice, but you will also find that happy couples, even with children, always appear to be very close. They will often pay attention to each other: look at each other, give each other a smile, or raise their eyebrows and have a silent conversation.

Warning sign: Happy couples match each other's pace, while in problematic relationships, she may be halfway through her entree and he may already be drinking his tea. The seating arrangement for children during mealtimes is also crucial. If your husband sits on one side of you and your child sits in a high chair on the other side, then you may end up eating with your back to your husband all night.

Situation 4: Watching TV or reading on the sofa

Love Signs: Sweet lovers don't necessarily sit close to each other when they sit on the sofa. But even though they were sitting at opposite ends of the couch, they would often exchange glances and usually turn their bodies toward each other. Psychologists say that the interpretation of body language is not absolute and must be determined based on the situation. What is important is that both parties can reach a tacit understanding and often tell each other: "I know you are here. Yes, I love you."

Warning sign: In unhappy couples, there is no sense of unity between the two people. Their bodies tend to be oriented away from each other. When commercials are on, they don't take the opportunity to talk, but instead avoid the other party. For example: standing up and walking away, starting to read a magazine, or changing the channel.

Scenario 5: Mutual Ownership

Love signal: When a happy couple makes love, they don't just focus on physical contact, eye contact is more important than anything else. They will tell their lovers generously through body language: "This feels good!" Sexual coordination can be achieved more easily through body language.

Warning signs: Whether it is a man or a woman, closed eyes and stiff neck and shoulders reflect sexual apathy and anxiety.

Situation 6: Walking together on the road of love

Love signal: Couples in love will coordinate their walk with each other's pace, which makes them feel coordinated. Research shows that lovers even have the same heart rate!

Warning sign: If one person consistently walks a few steps faster than the other, it can often seem hostile or, at the very least, lack a sense of commonality. When one of them was walking, he suddenly turned to cross the street without noticing the other, which also revealed a problem.

Situation 7: Misunderstanding caused by body language

Psychologists explain that a message of love may sometimes be misunderstood by the other party. For example:

You kindly help him adjust his tie, but he sees this as you being too possessive and treating him like a child.

When someone holds your upper arm or elbow and leads you across the street, you feel like he is forcing you to follow him.

You follow his gaze, trying to let him know that you are interested in what he has to say. He first thinks that you want him to focus on you, but when you maintain your gaze for a while, he begins to feel that you are attacking him.

When you are getting dressed, he looks you up and down, trying to tell you "I think you are so beautiful!" But you think he is examining your body, and may think you are too fat.

You hugged him and patted his back affectionately. But he thinks you feel sorry for him, so you give him comfort instead of love.
