Perron, Ph.D. who analyzed responses from an anonymized pool of 8,302 Happy Couple users, communication really is the key to a healthy relationship. Among Happy Couple users, playing more is one of the best predictors of which couples report being happy and healthy. Furthermore, this analysis shows that connection scores of certain key categories are among the best predictors of couple health, which stresses the importance of understanding your partner more so than being alike. Couples who are good at guessing their partner's answer in communication categories are more likely to feel encouraged in their relationship and keep their fights under control. Sexual connection is important for a good sex life, meaning that understanding your partner sexually a strong indicator of sexual health.
