Couples who share the same core beliefs have an easier time being happy together because they do not have as many opportunities for conflict. Shared beliefs make several things easier, such as raising children and having important discussions.

People who have good problem-management skills can make a better couple. Conflicts are inevitable and people get angry or upset for several different reasons. However, having problem management skills can be the difference between exploding in anger or stepping aside for a moment to breathe.

A couple who communicates is happier because the people in the relationship share love, joy, sorrow and confusion with one another. Nothing is left to question; they are not afraid to tell each other how they feel about any important issue. Because of this, they do not have anger or hurt that they are keeping inside their hearts toward one another.

Ironically, spending time apart is one of the best things a couple can do for their relationship. People who have their own agendas and interests have much more to bring to a relationship than people whose only interest is each other. Spending time apart also causes people to appreciate their partner more because of the fact that they are not always together. Because of this, the time that they are together is much more meaningful and enjoyable.
Throughout a long-term relationship, the couples that are the happiest are the ones who know how to have fun together.
