Physical and emotional intimacy, internal and external factors, form a successful relationship. According to a survey conducted at Florida State University, sex is a key ingredient for marital bliss.
The results of the research were published in the journal Psychological Science, by author Andrea Meltzer. The study was attended by 214 newly married couples. Couples should report their sexual commitment to their partners, assess how satisfied they were with their sex life, and also assess how satisfied they were with their relationship and spouse.
The research found that physical intimacy produces a shine that lasts up to 2 days, increasing long-term relationship satisfaction.
"Our research shows that sexual satisfaction remains high 48 hours after sex, and people with a sexual glow are stronger-that is, people who reported a higher level of sexual satisfaction 48 hours after having sex- reported higher levels High marital satisfaction several months later, "explains Meltzer.
What would be the magic number?
One study uncovered the magic number of how much sex a stable partner should have to be happy. The American research had the participation of more than 30 thousand people with fixed partners and was published in the specialized journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.
They discovered that having sex only once a week is enough to feel satisfied at the wedding. "Although the more frequent sex is associated with greater happiness, this relationship is no longer significant at a frequency greater than once a week," said researcher Amy Muise, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto-Mississauga.
"Our findings suggest that it is important to maintain an intimate connection with the partner, but it is not necessary to have sex every day for that," he added.
Is this number realistic?
According to sex therapist Tammy Nelson, there is no rule or rule for a couple's sex life. The couple's dynamics change over the years and their needs too, so she believes there is no magic number that will bring happiness in marriage.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, she says many couples come to her office with the same question: "Is my sex life normal?"
"Forget about normal." The most important thing is to learn empathy for your partner and accept their needs, even if they are different from yours, "explains Nelson.
The therapist emphasizes that frequent conversations about her sex life and loving touches outside the bedroom may be the most important factors for relationship satisfaction.
