Power Couple Goals!

George and Amal, Barack and Michelle, Will and Kate – our favourite power couples are redefining relationship goals. Luckily for us regular folks, it isn’t just about good looks, wealth or a Presidential or British royal family career; achieving power couple status is all about cultivating a few good habits together as a couple.

For starters, having great communication skills, says author of Saving Your Marriage, Dato’ Dr. Arunan Selvaraj. “Great communication skills are key for a power couple. Being in a relationship is a two-way street, whereby communication is important to avoid misunderstanding. Effective communication with each other builds better trust, respect and vitality in a relationship,” he says. Here are more tips on how to be crazy good together as a power couple.

#1 SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER, EVEN IT IF IT MEANS TAKING TURNS

Everyone loves a cheerleader on their side, especially when things get tough. A power couple not only supports each other but when required, will take a back seat so as not to steal his or her significant half’s thunder. Case in point: Hillary Clinton’s support for Bill when he was running for and serving as president... and his turn to champion her during her Presidential campaign.
