Romance Dims after Marriage

Just in case you were wondering if marriage changes anything about a relationship, the latest VeraQuest omnibus study says yes it definitely does. On a weekly basis, committed couples who are dating or living together are more likely to do all of the following than married couples are:

Younger (and likely newer) couples appear significantly more romantic than older couples – and believe it or not, men are more romantic than women. So don’t believe anything you hear about men being the unromantic boors. They are in fact more likely to keep the romance alive for their significant other on a routine basis, including buying them thoughtful gifts now and then.

The only thing married couples seem to do at the same rate as dating couples is argue (33% vs 33%), unfortunately that clearly doesn’t dissipate with the larger commitment. And married couples are also just as likely to call each other cute pet names or nicknames (68% vs 71%), perhaps because once you’re called “honeypie”, you’re always called honeypie.

How has your relationship changed with age? Like a fine wine or an overripe banana?
