It’s all in the glance.

and taking equally. Negotiating everyday tasks may be boring, but it sets the tone for how you will negotiate the rough spots along the way. Spend time in a hut in the wilderness. The royals’ engagement after a two week vacation in an isolated hut in the wilds of Kenya is very telling about the level of their intimacy and compatibility. Tip #6: If you can survive two weeks in a quiet place together, you probably have the makings of a great partnership! Actually 72 hours will do! Say what you need to say! Will & Kate’s conflict & separation several years into their relationship was important training ground for their future. Not seeing eye to eye about commitment, Kate spoke up for her needs, and they decided to take a break. The result: greater appreciation! Tip #7: Speak up for your needs early on. Be clear about what you expect from the relationship. Too often couples hold their needs and feelings in silence, only to “blow” later down the road. Hold it in, and unhappiness may reach a point of no return. The snuggle says it all. The royal couple appears closely tuned in to one another! The comfortable body language in their engagement photo as well as the physical nuances in videos speaks to their connection on all levels, physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Tip #8: Affectionate touches or glances speak volumes to your partner. Tuning in to each other’s emotional and physical state increases closeness and fulfillment big time! Will the Royals have a long, happy marriage? With solid friendship, common interests, humor, a protective boundary around themselves, great teamwork, voicing needs clearly, and staying tuned in with affection and caring, from the looks of things, the future king and queen will rock it for years to come!
