Do you sometimes feel that you and your partner are constantly at each other’s throats? Well, who better to give relationship advice than the ultimate power couple!
Emile and Razia Samson, the winners of the first ever Power Couple, the reality show that hit our shores in September last year, give us their five top tips for a happy and fulfilling relationship.
1 Bath together as often as possible
“Razia and I get to chat about our day, our plans, decisions that need to be made… all of it in the tub!”
2 Leave the kids at home sometimes
“We love our children and as a result we normally give them our undivided attention when we’re in their space. That‘s great but it also means that we don’t get to finish any of our conversations when the kids are with us.”
3 Gym together
“Find some exercise regime that suits both of you and stick to it. It is so much fun.”
4 Wait before reacting
“If something really annoys you don’t react to it there and then. Chances are it is going to be conveyed super badly and it will be emotionally damaging for both of you. Wait for a time when you are both neutral and then start the talk.”
5 Say sorry
“He makes you take the wrong left turn because he followed the GPS wrongly. You scream some crazy words to him and immediately you know you were out of line even though he was navigating you poorly. Push yourself to say sorry for being rude. Humble yourself for the sake of peace in your relationship. After all, it is really odd to be fuming with your partner because of a wrong left turn, right?”
