It’s A Fact – Kittens Are Good For Your Relationship!

The Marriage Foundation – a UK based think tank – has conducted a study of 3,500 adults to find out what acts or decisions make couples more committed to each other and the results are surprising to say the least!

Buying a house and having a baby ranked high on the list of acts but Barry Benson, a spokesperson for The Marriage Foundation said that while it’s natural for people to rate a child more highly than a pet, statistical research in the US shows that getting a pet is a much better indicator of how serious a couple are.

“Research on cohabitating couples show conclusively that getting a pet is a better indicator of staying together than having a baby,” he said.

“Having a baby is a huge commitment but it is not necessarily deliberate.

“When you have a baby, it may feel like you are committed but it is more of a ‘constraint commitment’ than a ‘dedicated commitment’ and dedication is what successful relationships are all about.”

The report also found that couples who included each other in a will were found to be more committed than those who shared a bank account.
