Building a Strong Romantic Relationship

To build a strong romantic relationship, focus on complimenting more than criticizing as it reduces stress and strengthens bonding. Non-escalative physical touch, such as cuddling while watching TV or giving a pat on the cheek, promotes stable relationships. Having regular and good sex is predictive of a healthy relationship, crucial from an evolutionary perspective. Incorporating novelty, spontaneity, surprises, like trying new activities and visiting new places, help maintain satisfaction and rekindle the spark in a relationship.
