A study suggests that having sex at least once a week is linked to higher happiness in relationships, with women who engage more frequently reporting greater satisfaction, especially those who prioritize sex and are under 45. Less frequent intimacy correlates with lower satisfaction, highlighting the importance of regular sexual activity for relationship happiness.
Feeling valued by one's partner is an essential factor in marital satisfaction, according to a new study published in the Journal of Sex Research. The study found that both sexual frequency and communication quantity can help improve the feeling of perceived mattering, or the belief that one is important to their partner, which is a critical factor in understanding the interaction between sex and communication. The study suggests that interventions to increase perceived mattering may effectively improve overall marital satisfaction.
