Everyone likes to feel their relationship is unique but experts have identified six different couple types which once recognized could improve relationships, the Daily Mail reported.
According to the article which first appeared in Psychologies magazine, different couple types can be identified as distinct roles are assumed.
Often, people are largely influenced by their parents’ partnership as they absorb information in their childhood, taking on board how their parents behaved.
Understanding and identifying “couple type” can apparently help break the negative cycles of changing relationships and lead to a happier relationship that best suits one’s needs.
Six couple types:1. Cat and dog This type of couple constantly fight in private and in public but the cycle of fighting and making up works to attract each other. However, when fights are fuelled by insecurity and distrust, this relationship becomes messy.
2. Thrill of the chase One partner here takes on the role of the pursuer, trying to secure the opposite’s attention and affection while one plays the role of a distancer. They often take turns, switching roles. “What drives this couple is a fear of being seen as needy,” says relationship psychologist Susan Quilliam.
3. Parent and childOften developing after having children, this couple type involves the feeling of responsibility in caring for a partner. The “child” may enjoy a break from being a supreme director in real-life while the “parent” may enjoy finding purpose in life through nurturing.
4. Idol and fanOne becomes a “worshipper” and the other becomes an “idol” about whom everything is loved. However, experts report such a relationship can be short-lived as the idol partner may depart for other relationships with other fans.
5. Babes in the woodThis couple enjoys the most security as they share everything from opinions to appearances. Although partners have a strong and united front, they may lack differential spark and passion, according to Susan Quilliam.
6. The grown-upsThis is a functional relationship lacking a little fire but involving two mature people tolerating differences to keep themselves away from conflicts. However, the lack of spontaneity and challenges may lead to a dull love life.

It's so interesting.
because, after read, I wonder about my husband mind?
So I asked him.
He thought that we belong to third type(Parent and child)But I think that we are Babes in the wood type.
because, we always had a talk a lot and we are in sync with each other. we two have many thing in common like a favorite music, movie style and food.
But from now, I know about his mind.
I don't do as child for him anymore.
hi. your husband looks so nice
