The easiest way to get closer with your guy might be to have a foursome. No, we're not suggesting you invite another couple into the bedroom. We're talking about double-dating. Researchers at Wayne State University recently discovered that spending time with other twosomes may help improve your relationship and make you feel happier and more satisfied.
But there's a catch: You can't just hit the movies with your best friend and her boyfriend. The scientists explained that the couples must engage in good, deep conversation in order to reap the relationship benefits of double-dating. (The subjects in the study who were asked to answer "high-disclosure" questions in front of the other couple were more likely to feel like the interaction boosted their bond. Whereas those who just made small talk didn't report feeling any closer as a couple.)
Do you double-date? Do you notice that it makes you feel closer to your boyfriend or husband?
