Sharing the simple things in life – like having a cup of coffee, gardening or renovating – are most important to couples in a long-term relationship, a Flinders University study shows.
Researcher and senior lecturer in social work Dr Priscilla Dunk-West said the survey of almost 500 Australians in long-term relationships showed “surprising” results, with most saying it was day-to-day gestures of love which were symbolic of a broader commitment from their partner and helped to sustain their relationship.
