Sex Or Generosity? Study Finds What Counts Most In Marriage

Generosity between spouses is a key element to a happy marriage, a new study says.
In essence, generosity is the amount of giving that goes on within a relationship, which can mean anything from making your spouse a cup of coffee, to ordering flowers or providing a backrub.

In the study, couples who reported a high amount of generosity in their relationship were five times more likely to say their marriage was "very happy," compared with those who reported a low amount of generosity. All couples in the report had children.
