Researchers found that when spouses are grateful and forgiving, the negative impact of loneliness on their marital relationship weakens.

The researchers used data from a large study called CREATE, which collects information from newly married couples across the United States .

The study found that loneliness was generally linked to lower relationship satisfaction and sexual harmony for both husbands and wives.

“Obstacles and conflict in our lives are often an opportunity for us to examine deeper meanings and elements of ourselves and our partners,” study author Chelom E. Leavitt said.

“Our findings may not hold true in more serious situations. So always seek help if you feel that you need more support.”.
