Giving thanks could be the key to lasting relationships


A recent study by Sara Algoe, a psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, found that on days when partners reported feeling more grateful for their significant other's acts of kindness, they also reported feeling more connected to that person.

Here is #26:

Psychologists say one behavior is the 'kiss of death' for a relationship


Contempt, a virulent mix of anger and disgust, is far more toxic than simple frustration or negativity. It involves seeing your partner as beneath you, rather than as an equal.

This single behavior is so powerful that it can be used — along with the negative behaviors of criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling — to predict divorce with 93% accuracy.

It comes down to a superiority complex.

Feeling smarter than, better than, or more sensitive than your significant other means you're not only less likely see his or her opinions as valid, but, more importantly, you're far less willing to try to put yourself in his or her shoes to try to see a situation from his or her perspective.

These are the 5 most important factors for a lasting relationship


According to eHarmony, these are the top five things successful couples share:

1. Both partners are emotionally healthy.

One of the most important things for a strong relationship, eHarmony website CEO Neil Warren said, is that both partners are mentally healthy, and do not have disorders such as bipolar disorder or severe depression. In a 2014 study of the spouses of 60 patients with depression and 65 patients with bipolar disorder, members of both groups reported high levels of burden. Spouses of bipolar patients reported much lower satisfaction with their sex lives, too.

2. Both partners have healthy character traits - especially honesty.

A 2015 study of 3,459 Korean adults that included 542 pairs of identical twins and 122 pairs of fraternal twins surveyed people about their temperament and character. They found that spouses reported character traits that were more similar to each other than to those of their children, parents, or siblings — and the similarity increased the longer they had been married.

3. They have similar levels of intelligence.

The human brain has evolved through generations of sexual selection in which women chose to have children with brainier men.

4. They share a sense of humor.

Studies support this, but they make an important distinction between "wit" (spontaneous jokes that are genuinely funny and require intelligence) and preplanned jokes and one-liners (which aren't very funny or intelligent).

5. They are kind to each other.

This was the number-one thing that couples report as being important for a relationship. A 2015 study of more than 2,000 couples in five cultures found that kindness, in addition to sex, finances, division of labor, and raising children, was a key factor in whether a marriage was successful.
