People with a dog or cat have better relationships

You have team pet and you have team please no dog or cat hairs in my house. Those animal lovers haven't looked at it so badly, it turns out.

Because people who are in a relationship and fill the house a bit with an animal ultimately have more luck in love. They are happier with their partner and they have more intimate relationships. The reason for this is simple. A pet provides a hefty dose of conversation material. And that is for many the solution to keep things a bit rosy, to keep a bit of fun in it, to keep laughing a bit. It creates a bond, such a wagging little creature in the house. Just like the weather. But then you can talk about the weather AND that walk in the woods.

It not only provides a nice chat, that cat that climbs into the curtains again or that dog that drools all over the couch again. As pet owners, you also have less stress because you feel like you can share all your troubles with your loyal four-legged friend. That leads to more happiness and more happiness leads to more joy at home. And you guessed it: happy couples are a bit more active in the bedroom. The same interesting research also shows that the closer the owners are with their pet, the more attached they are to their love partner. As if that love is connected to each other. This is because people quickly associate their pet with their partner, as they raise the animal together with their partner. Just like children, so to speak. That love then goes around nicely.

In short, if you've always wanted to get a cat or dog: go for it. Suddenly you have an incredibly cozy love life with that kitten or puppy. I already have two cats and honestly? My husband and I are still not done talking. Luckily.
