You know the type – gorgeous together, wildly successful careers and are so romantically in sync it makes the rest of us look like amateurs. Annoying? A little. But guess what – you too can be a power couple with your guy! Time to rule the world
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.

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.
