Say, at the restaurant or on night outs with friends? What if having a toast with your significant other at the end of the day or on weekends could <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/10-secrets-long-lasting-relationship\/\">make your relationship last longer<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>These are the findings of a study published in 2016 in the journal <em>&#8220;The Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Series&#8221;<\/em> and picked up by the magazine <em>Le D\u00e9motivateur<\/em>. The study, conducted by researchers, aimed to investigate the secrets of\u00a0 lasting couples. They were particularly interested in partners who had been married for at least 33 years.<\/p>\n<p>Out of 2,767 couples interviewed, the researchers concluded that <em><strong>&#8220;couples who drink together have a more positive marital life over time.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em> They found a specific correlation with the happiness of women who drink (in moderation, of course).<\/p>\n<h2>The secret of lasting couples: spending time together over drinks, not necessarily of alcohol<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/best-cocktails-mocktails-labor-day\/\">Wine and spirit enthusiasts<\/a> will likely enjoy the outcome of this study. However, the<a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/unexpected-impact-marriage-well-being-health-harvard\/\"> essence of a happy marriage<\/a> isn&#8217;t anchored in alcohol alone. It&#8217;s spending a one-on-one moment with your partner, chatting and laughing over a glass of alcohol&#8230; or a fruit juice! Dr. Kira Birditt from the University of Michigan added:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We&#8217;re not suggesting that people should drink more or change how they drink. It could be that the shared leisure time is what leads to a better marriage.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, it all boils down to the couple&#8217;s dynamic and their approach to alcohol consumption rather than how they frequently clink their glasses. Just a friendly reminder that alcohol abuse is harmful to your health, and you should always drink responsibly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42690,"featured_media":84844,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO
