Guys if you’ve been married recently or in a relationship(say, within the last decade), what do you actually do to keep your partner happy?

A bit curious about what works in today’s world where everyone is chasing some xyz goals...from small daily things to bigger relationship habits.

Note: It's given that both the partners are 99.99% loyal and committed to each other.

PS: I'm 25M, just preparing the ground for the future.

I know at this age I should not be thinking about these things rather be chasing more and more money like my friends... but I'm preparing for those things parallely and collecting details..and relevant experiences..

I know some may say it's kind of learning to swim by watching a video... but I use a bit different analogy..I'm learning to speak by watching others speak.. anyways..

Listen
Clarity in communication
List priorities Chores division Give them some leeway Take the ego hit
Go the extra mile whenever you can Go the extra mile whenever you can't

Thanks !!

Loved this pointer... "Take the ego hit" ... I, at the end of the day, almost daily write goods and bads done by me almost everyday to retrospect... over a period of time I realised that I am a bit of egoish... but working on it and gradually getting control over thoughts.. and will keep working on it...

There's no one size fits all solution for this question. Every partner will want different things and have different priorities.

Just listen to them and give them what they want as much as you can, that is enough.

Yeah yeah correct... but its just to know from others because still there would be some common elements...

But some things will be un-told or un-asked right... which we have to do on our own .. I mean I don't know even brute force algorithm in this domain except intangible elements of love..

Some ppl told small gifts 🎁, outings, cooking date (or so I don't know when both cook together sometimes), candle light and other such things...

PS: I know LLM may answer such questions... but I didn't felt like asking..
