A study published in The Journal of Gerontology: Series B claims to have discovered a recipe for a lasting and happy marriage. We know all about meeting your partner halfway, loving him or her unconditionally and sharing the household work – they are necessary aspects of strong relationship, but not ones more important than sex!
The study appeared as the result of a research into the lives of more than 700 married couples aged from 57 to 85. There emerged a correlation between active sex life and the level of satisfaction: the couples who registered a high level of satisfaction had much sex. They said it made them feel happy and positive about their bond. The curious point is that this association was also there when their hookups went beyond mere intercourse to a sexual act.
What is not quite definite is whether the happy couples are satisfied because of their plentiful sex or, on the contrary, their enjoyment of sex keeps them happy. Anyway, sex definitely stands out as an essential part of any relationship. Moreover, if you devote much time to your games between the sheets, you are likely to stay in for a long time to come. Another study shows that women who hold sex important retain their sex drive for a longer time, isn’t it a good reason to get in bed and have fun more often?
