Sure you tell your partner that he is a hunk, but do you know that complimenting him on his non-physical attributes could also make you a better partner?

Prevention.com shared a recent study published in the Journal of the International Association for Relationship Research, which measured relationship satisfaction. The result? It turns out that both men and women appreciate if they get commended in both the physical and non-physical department.

Apart from telling him he's brilliant, sexy, and romantic, it also pays if he knows you'll stay in the long run. Providing a sense of security and satisfaction to your beau is a simple step to lasting relationship.
