Why Relationships Are More Than Just Sexual Chemistry

If you’ve ever been in a long-term relationship, you know there’s more to it than simply gettin’ busy day in and day out.  Here, we list a variety of things that all couples find are just as important (and fun) as sexual chemistry!

Open communication—asking for their advice and valuing their opinion.

Laughter. Nothing is better than having an insane amount of inside jokes together.

Holding hands absentmindedly—the purest form of intimacy.

Honesty. Trust is key.

Getting stupid drunk together without any drama.

Being each other's shoulder to lean on through thick and thin.

Experiencing comfortable silence together.

Constantly surprising one another.

Like, writing sweet notes to each other.

Traveling together, visiting countries and cities you both want to explore.

Vegging out on the couch next to each other on lazy days.

Teaming up in the kitchen and cooking together.

Long and glorious unplanned naps. (Before or after getting freaky.)

Simply enjoying each other's company and appreciating the little moments.
