Quality time is a super important thing happy couples do every day. Just because you are living with your SO or you're around them all of the time doesn't mean that you're actually spending QUALITY time together. This is time put aside when it's just the two of you enjoying each other's company without other distractions.

One of the best things about being in a happy couple is just the simplest thing of being able to tell someone about your day, what has happened, what you did, who annoyed you or made you smile. A happy couple will run through their day and listen to each other tell them about it, even if it's as mundane as 'I had grilled cheese for lunch'.

Affection is a symbol of love and comfort and when you love someone you want to give them affection and you crave affection from them. So it's only natural that in a happy relationship, it's super affectionate. Whether it's a hug, a goodnight kiss, a cuddle, or a spoon...affection can come in many different forms.
5. Eat meals together

It may sound simple or even unimportant, but sitting down together for meals means a lot. It's one of those times when you can sit without being distracted by other things such as work or tv and you can sit and eat together. It's something that most happy couples do and something they make sure they try to do.
6. Appreciate each other

Appreciating each other is something that can sometimes be taken for granted and this is why in a happy relationship two people have to appreciate each other and tell the other that you do. This way nobody feels taken for granted or unimportant and it can help from resentment building up.
7. Tell each other 'I love you

The three, most powerful words we can say, are 'I love you'. It should be a part of your everyday language in a happy couple. They might say it when they wake up in the morning when they wave one another off for work, or before they go to sleep at night. Happy couples never let this slide or assume, they make sure they say it.
8. Give each other loving looks

This is something you might notice when you see a genuinely happy couple. There aren't huge displays of affection and they're not trying to prove to anybody how happy they are, you can just see it in their eyes. They look at each other with love and affection, even if the other isn't even looking back!
9. Get a little bit silly together

Silliness is how couples keep the spark alive and keep things light-hearted and fun. Sometimes life gets super serious and it can be easy to get bogged down. So in a happy relationship, they'll remain a little bit silly with each other to keep that sense of playfulness in the relationship.
10. Tell each other what's up

You don't need to know what you're partner is doing every second of every day by any means. But in a happy couple, they would let each other know 'Hey babe, I'll be home from work two hours late tonight I have a meeting'. They let each other know what's going on. And, they let each other know if something's bothering them so they can squash it and not let it fester into something bigger.
11. Compliment each other

Everyone loves a compliment, it's natural that we feel good when we get a little bit of a confidence boost. In a happy couple, your partner is the person who thinks you're better than anyone else, so they tell each other to let each other know how much they love them, both inside and out.
12. Give each other space

In a couple, happiness doesn't mean that you're glued to the hip and cannot leave each other's side. A sign of a happy couple is when both people have space to do their own things, see other people, have hobbies and yet also have alone time and quality time with one another too.
13. They let things go

A sign of a happy couple isn't someone who never disagrees - in fact, this could be quite the opposite, it could mean that things are brushed under the carpet building into resentment and stored up anger.

14. They do something they both enjoy, together

A couple's compatibility is to do with how much you have in common and what kind of likes and interests you share.

16. They agree to disagree

Look, no two people are ever the same. And even in the happiest of relationships, you can't agree on everything. But the key is to accept this, and not to dwell on it. Agree to disagree. You may not agree on the house decor, and you might have different views on serious topics, but if you respect each other's view and know that it's okay to disagree then it's a sign that the couple is comfortable with one another and happy to accept one another fully,

19. They are patient with one another

Patience can be hard to maintain. But when a couple is happy, one of the reasons for this is because they are patient with each other. We can all test each other's patience at times, but when you have patience for each other it means that they feel secure enough in the relationship to not always be perfect.
20. They encourage one another

23. Do something nice for each other

To be in a happy couple it doesn't mean that you have to make grand gestures or surprise one another with a tip to the Maldives or a Louis Vuitton bag. Sometimes this can be for show and more superficial than meaningful. Happy couples will do nice things for each other like take a cup of tea to bed or buy them their favourite chocolate bar from the store.
24. They'll talk about future plans

Future plans don't necessarily mean that each and every day a happy couple has to talk about serious future plans like marriage or moving house. Future plans could literally be what you both want to do at the weekend, what takeaway you want to order, or what movie you'll pick for movie night. These are all signs of happy couples who enjoy each other's company and look forward to the little things together.
25. Smile at each other

A smile is so easy, so simple, but SO meaningful. A smile can literally change your whole day. From experience when we see unhappy couples they just don't seem to genuinely smile at each other. In a happy couple, they will look at each other and smile with genuine happiness and affection.
26. Help each other out

As a partner in a couple you're going to have to help out your partner. In fact, each and every day you'll probably help one another out maybe even without realizing it. It's something happy couples just do without question, and certainly without keeping a tally of 'all the things I have done for you today.
27. Split the chores

Couples should be as equal as possible. Each couple has a different setup that works for them, but a happy couple will be balanced.

Being in a couple doesn't just involve living with each other and being around each other. When a couple is truly happy they don't just want to spend time together inside the house, they want to go out and do things together too. So a sign of a happy couple is when they spend a lot of time together outside of the house.
30. They start the day together

Starting the day off right is a big thing when it comes to being a happy couple. If you wake up and barely speak to each other, it's not a good sign.
