Summary:
What are the essential qualities of a great relationship? What do
people in healthy and happy relationships do differently? Scientists
and academics have spent entire careers investigating the nature of
relationships, dating, and marriage, yet their findings are
inaccessible to ordinary people, hidden in obscure journals read only
by other academics. Now the bestselling author of the 100 Simple
Secrets series has collected the most current and significant data
from more than a thousand studies on relationships and spells out the
key findings in plain English. The advice is not based on one
person's unique experiences or opinions, but offers for the first
time the research of noted scientists studying the lives and loves of
average Americans. Each of the findings is accompanied by a true
story that shows the results in action. Love is hard to calculate:
Researchers have proven that a partner's age, income, education, and
religion are unrelated factors in the likelihood of relationship
satisfaction. Always trying to win can lead to a major loss: People
who feel a sense of competition with their partner are 37 percent
less likely to feel that their relationship is satisfying. leave the
past in the past: More than 40 percent of people report that jealousy
over a previous relationship is a source of conflict in their current
relationship.
