Date Night On Beer Day – A Sound Relationship Decision

Today is National Drink Beer day and where better to celebrate than in the Yakima Valley and the heart of Hops country.  And what better way to celebrate than on a “date night” with your significant other.

A new study shows that couples are less likely to break up if they regularly enjoy a night out.

 Researchers from The Marriage Foundation and Lincoln University found that scheduling monthly "date nights" reduced the chances a couple would split up by 14 percent.  Interestingly, this cohesive effect was only seen among married couples, and not with those just cohabiting.

Still, The Marriage Foundation points out that other factors are more important in predicting the chances of a couple staying together such as age, and education level so don’t put all your beer bottles in one relationship basket! (Daily Mail)
