Kissing Multiple Times a Day is a Key to Happy Relationships
YOUR REACTION?What is the key to lasting love? Relationships are not all created equal and some couples are happier, more passionate and more connected than others. But what is their secret?
A new survey led by a romantic social network site sought to answer those very questions. Over 1,000 committed men and women filled out their survey and gave their honest feedback regarding love, dating, and marriage.
The researchers found that happy couples tend to have several important factors in common. Most notably, the survey showed that 69 percent of happy couples kissed and showed affection to one another multiple times a day. In other words, these couples shared more than just a quick peck as they ran out the door in the morning. Instead, they engaged in frequent and intimate acts of affection, all of which can add up to more intercourse. The survey also showed that 28% of happy couples report having sex 2-3 times a week.
Happy couples had more in common than just regular intimacy. They also shared strong communication styles. 70% of happy couples said they don’t believe even telling little white lies to their partner, even to save the peace or protect their partner’s feelings. And, 72% of happy couples say that frequent conversations about love, life, work, and family are also a must. In other words, happy couples tend to engage in an ongoing dialogue about important issues, even when it comes to sensitive matters or difficult subjects.
It’s easy to see why this important. The biggest killer in a relationship is a lack of communication, because without communication you can’t have trust, intimacy, or connection with your partner. You will have to assume what they are thinking or feeling, and often assumptions can be wildly incorrect and destructive. Knowing that you can talk to your partner about anything and that there is no topic that is off-limits is hugely important. It means that you can tackle any issue—mismatched libidos, jealousy, insecurity, financial stress—head-on, and that you can do so as a united front.
Lastly, the survey also found that happy couples tend to believe in the importance of grooming and self-care. 74% of couples said that they believed in the importance of their partner staying fit and groomed. Yes, beauty is only skin-deep, but it’s important not to fall in a trap of always being in sweats on the couch together. Keeping seduction and attraction alive is a big part of a happy relationship and a big part of what drives our sexual attraction or connection, so prioritizing your fitness and well-being is key.
All in all, a happy relationship comes down to: Intimacy, honest communication, respect, and attraction. Simple enough, but it’s always good to have a reminder!
