for more details:
You’re Bored
The journal Psychological Science published a
study that revealed couples who engaged in
interesting activities (both together and apart)
were much happier than those who were
bored.
You Fight a Lot, But Never Did in the
Beginning of Your Relationship
If you find yourself fighting a lot, you may
want to examine the history of your
relationships. A Florida State study discovered
that those who fought during the first year or
two, yet were able to work out their
differences, tend to be happy as the years
progress.
Your Relationship Is Full of Jealousy
This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but where
jealous or indifference reins so does
relationship failure. A study published in The
Journal of Personality and Social
Psychology found that celebrating your
partner’s achievements leads to much higher
levels of relationship satisfaction.
You Never Have Sex
Statistics show that if you can increase your
sexual activity from once per month to once
per week, your enjoyment of life and your
relationship will increase exponentially.
You’re Straight
A 5,000 person study at the Open University
of Britain found that gay couples tend to be
happier and more connected.This doesn’t
mean your relationship is doomed if you’re
straight, but it does point to the importance
of shared interests and open communication.
Have Lots of Divorced or Unhappily Married
Friends
According to a Brown University study, you
are 75 percent more likely to divorce if you
have a friend who is divorced.
You’re Both Sleep Deficient
If you’re not getting enough sleep, you may
be setting yourself up for failure. A University
of Arizona study , conducted in 2009,
discovered that men feel much better about
their relationships when they get enough
sleep. Women also reported a correlations
between lack of sleep and problems.
Beautiful Woman with Hot Man
Have you ever wondered why so many hot
women marry less-attractive men?
Interestingly enough, a recent study revealed
good looking women do better with men who
are considered less attractive. However, the
statistics didn’t look so hot when a good
looking man considered himself to be better
looking than his spouse.
Rushed into Sex and the Relationship
A Cornell University study suggests that
rushing into a relationship doesn’t do most
couples many favors. Researchers found a
positive correlation between waiting a month
to have sex and long-term relationship
success.
