Here's what it means for the relationship when couples stop using 'I' and start using 'we,' writes Dr_Boccia
satisfaction contributes to health and happiness for both partners. Although there are different ideas regarding whether long-term relationships increase or decrease sexual passion and satisfaction, it has been suggested that adding novelty and exciting experiences can reignite the relationship's passion. This has been found for both individual and shared experiences.
IOS may help explain why individual experiences contribute to relationship passion . Researchers found that while the individual’s own participation in these types of events did not predict marital satisfaction, the partner’s participation did . The types of activities predicting satisfaction included participation in church, business groups, or other social groups. Greater frequency and activity in these groups were positively related to the partner’s marital satisfaction.
Multiple studies have found that relationship and sexual satisfaction are related to one another. When sexual relationships are satisfying, they contribute to marital satisfaction, and vice versa. However, when a sexual relationship is problematic, it has a greater effect on dissatisfaction than a good sexual relationship has on marital satisfaction. So, this may contribute to understanding why self-expansion, including one’s partner in oneself, enhances sexual passion.
