The benefits of being a power couple

full of trust and love.
How to be the power couple all your friends are jealous of
If you’re tired of being jealous of a certain couple and would rather
be your own version of a power couple, I have good news for you. You no
longer have to walk around jealous of your friends, you can actually be
the couple everyone is jealous of.
It may take some work and time before you’re seen as a power couple,
but with these tips you’ll be able to earn that title for yourself. This
is how you to become the power couple all your friends envy.
#1 Build a strong relationship. This is the very
first step of being a power couple. It’s really difficult to fake having
a strong relationship. If people sense you’re being fake with each
other, it derails the entire idea that you’re a power couple.
You must build strong trust, have healthy communication, and be truly
honest with your partner. Once you build a strong relationship you’ll
be able to pass as a power couple easily.
#2 Support each other—always. No matter what your
significant other does, give them your full support. Unless, of course,
it’s illegal or immoral. Otherwise, support their every decision as if
it was your own choice.
If you do this, people see how much you respect each other. When you
visually respect each other’s choices no matter what, you gain respect.
And being respected is the mark of a power couple.
#3 Never fight around your friends. Arguments happen
in relationships. You’re not always going to agree with each other and
fighting is actually healthy. However, you never want to let people see
you fight with your significant other.
When other people see a couple arguing it immediately brings down
their opinion of the relationship. Something that will NOT make you seem
like a power couple. If you disagree in public, make the other person
aware, but put your angst aside until you’re alone.
#4 Be understanding of the other person. Even if you
have a mild disagreement in public or around your friends and it’s not
heavy enough of a topic that you have to wait until you’re alone, banter
respectively.
If you show you’re understanding of your partner other people see
that you two can disagree and still come to an understanding. They will
be jealous of this and put your relationship on a higher pedestal.
#5 Talk highly of your partner even when they’re not around. Never
talk badly of your significant other. Even if they’re not around, you
should always speak about them in a respectful and caring manner.
If you’re doing this even when they’re not around other people do
this, too. The respect for you and your partner will be solidified even
when the two of you aren’t together, making you seem like the power
couple you’ve always been envious of.
#6 Keep it classy, folks. Don’t post inappropriate
pictures on your social media accounts and don’t show an excessive
amount of PDA. If you make other people feel uncomfortable about the two
of you together it will definitely NOT make you seem like a power
couple.
Instead, keep it classy. Post kid-friendly photos and don’t do
anything more than hug in public. By having an air of class about the
both of you, it increases the idea you’re a strong power couple.
#7 Treat each other as equals 100% of the time. You
should never treat your significant other as if they’re below you, and
they should never treat you as such, either. You have to be complete
equals in order to maintain your power couple status.
Do you think Jay-Z goes around talking about how he’s better than
Beyoncé? No! They are seen as an equal power couple because that is the
way they treat each other. You should also never forget to treat OTHERS
as an equal, as well. That type of respect for others does wonders in
the eyes of them.
#8 Be humble about your relationship. Once you’ve
established a kind of power couple reputation, other people may start
saying that your relationship is “perfect” and start questioning you
about it.
If you act like you’re perfect, people think that you’re full of
yourself. You have to be humble about your successful relationship.
Thank them and offer advice, but you should always make it known that NO
relationship is perfect. Being relatable makes you a power couple.
#9 Keep your privacy. A lot of couples think it’s
funny and even romantic to talk about their sex and personal lives.
However, this is neither of those things. You always want to make sure
you’re keeping your private life private.
Even if your friends beg you for details, don’t give in. Having an
air of mystery and privacy heightens other’s respect for you, casting
you as an even more powerful couple.
#10 Work together as an item. A true power couple
never speaks in terms of “I” or “me” when talking about the future. They
always include their partner because if you’re truly a power couple,
you’re an item. Working together also shows others just how much you
trust and support each other.
Always make sure you’re including your partner in everything you’re
speaking of—unless it’s a specific personal question. This makes people
truly see you as one item instead of two separate people—the true mark
of a real power couple.
Power couples are so sought after simply because they’re
well-respected, happy, and seem to have their lives put together. If you
want to be the envy of your friend group, these tips help transform you
and your partner into a power couple.
