This private app is a fantastic way to stay in touch with your significant other. Couple, available for free download on Android and iOS, provides you with a way to stay connected to your sweetheart whether you're living two streets or two countries away from one another. You can share private content; pictures and messages look beautiful displayed on a smartphone, like the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge from a carrier such as T-Mobile, and with its fast network, everything downloads with ease. Couple also suggests date night locations and helps you meet up in real time by sharing your locations with each other.
Couplete – App for Couples

This app has some overlapping features with Couple, but the major bonus of the Couplete app is its timeline feature. You and your partner create a timeline of your relationship together, including milestones, photos, and happy memories. You can share pieces of your timeline on social media if you want to share the joy or let your family and friends know that you're passing an important anniversary. Couplete also features a Wishbox, where you both add things you want to do together. Download it for free on Android and iOS.
Open Ended Questions

The Open Ended Questions app will bring your relationship to the next level by encouraging you and your love to talk about the important things in life. When you're bogged down in the day-to-day aspects of a life together, sometimes you forget to keep asking the bigger questions that make your relationship closer. The Open Ended Questions app, which is $1.99 on iOS and Android, asks you 50 questions about life, your needs, your dreams, and your relationship which are designed to get you and your partner talking about the present and the future in a heartfelt way.
Expressing Needs

Telling your partner what would make you happy isn't always easy. Some partners assume their needs are obvious, and others simply have trouble communicating what would make them happier. The Expressing Needs app, available for $1.99 on iOS and Android, first asks you a series of questions so you can define what you need out of your relationship. Then it helps you phrase those needs in a positive way, so that your partner will be receptive. If you both engage with the app, you and your partner will know how to make each other even happier.
Don't wait until you've hit a rocky patch in your relationship to download these apps. Get in the habit of planning date nights, sending cute messages, and talking about important things now. No matter what state your relationship is in, focus on strengthening it both for now and for the long run.

I don't have a smartphone...or a phone of any kind. That might help to build a stronger relationship, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteApps for stronger relationship? Back again on staring at our hand phones. So life and love has been synchronized on apps. Great.
ReplyDeleteI was skeptical when I saw the title, but these look like cool, positive apps. I may mention it to a friend/couple.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Cool Apps and much needed for us today !!!
ReplyDeleteNot a problem for me - I do not have a smartphone. :D
ReplyDeleteHi, Luxie!
ReplyDeleteThere's an app for everything these days. If the ones featured in this post help couples to resolve their problems and enhance their relationships, then I am in favor of them. They are simpler, more efficient and cost a lot less than professional counseling sessions.
Thanks, Lux!
Wow, they do have an app for pretty much everything these days
ReplyDeletePretty cool. Didn't know these existed. Don't think I'll use them though.
ReplyDeleteWow! Didn't know there are such apps!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I just went on a weekend-long marriage retreat so I'm all about stuff like this right now! My husband can't have his phone at work and whenever he's not at work, he's home with me, so I am not sure we would need an app like that right now, but I think they are a great idea. We do have a couple tabletopics that we sometimes use to start discussions and we've been working on a lot of things that we learned at the retreat!
ReplyDeleteI liked the 'Fix a fight' and 'Open ended questions' app. Most useful for older couples like me and my hubby! :P
ReplyDeleteI never knew about these apps. They seem fun. Maybe I am getting old. I am trying out the Couple app.
ReplyDeleteCall me an ignorant, but I didnt know about any of these.... I always thought there are ones for singles only... Well, Im single now, so cant use it much, but when I find my better half I will give it a go :)
ReplyDeleteOK . . this is all new to me! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteDear Lux, Wish this kind of technology was around a few decades ago! Great apps! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just love the couple app! What fun no matter how long you've been together!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I haven't heard of many of these! thanks for sharing!
