6. They maintain the intimacy.
Nothing beats the I-can’t-keep-my-hands-off-you-and-am-so-obsessed-with-you honeymoon phase. It’s so amazing when the only thing you can focus on is your partner and you want to spend every single second together. But, eventually the honeymoon phase is over. Just because it ended, the passion doesn’t have to also disappear. Happy couples work to keep intimacy and romance alive in the relationship.

7. They go out together.
Having a date night is essential. Just like when you first started dating, you have to be woo-ed. Take turns courting each other and planning the entire night. Date night encourages you to keep the spark alive. As silly as it sounds, getting dressed up and going out, just the two of you, keeps the excitement strong.

8. They genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
When you enjoy each other’s company, your relationship flourishes. Your significant other is someone you can talk to about anything, anywhere, anytime — so make sure you take advantage of that. When you have a bad day, simply seeing your partner makes everything better.

9. They break routines.
Your relationship shouldn’t feel like a routine. Your life as a couple should be unpredictable. You should embrace spontaneity and surprise each other with fun new activities.

10. They put their phones away.
When you’re together, you should focus entirely on each other. Devote 100 percent of your attention to your partner. Take a break from technology. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter can all wait until the morning.
