And experts say this is a good thing. In fact, there are 4 specific types of couples you and your mate should know. Here they are, courtesy of Glamour magazine.
- The Partiers. Just when you're about to rent a video, they invite you out for margaritas. These people can get you to enjoy the world beyond your front door - or make you appreciate your cozy little nest even more. Either way, they show you how to make a good time better.
- Next Romeo & Juliet 10 years later. They've got kids, jobs, dirty dishes and they're still smooching on each other! Get to know them. Staying affectionate through life's trials and tribulations is a rare talent.
- Another type of couple you and your mate should befriend: The CEO's. He cooks - she cleans. He pays the bills - she does the taxes. Take notes from a couple who can truly manage their relationship. This is an underrated skill. And true happiness demands both passion AND practicality.
And the last type of couple you and your mate should get to know: The Bickersons. They quibble over everything, from the movie they rent to the type of coffee they buy. Of course you don't want to be like these people, but bickering is an easy habit to fall into. And having them close by will make you realize the value of a compromising relationship
