Intuition is much better able to predict the fate of your relationship than the mind

You feel his "soul mate" instiktivno



A recent study by American scientists showed that the prospects of marriage can be predicted by almost instinctive and unconscious physiological feelings of spouses, they are experiencing when communicating.



Psychology professor Jim McNulty and his colleagues at the University of Florida for four years watched 135 couples, and every six months the partners were asked to assess the sufficiency of their relations and the prospects of using various adjectives corresponding to a scale of one to ten. After that experts have studied the reaction time of the spouses on the positive and negative comments about each other and found that in some cases, the partners will respond to the positive evaluation and slower to negative, while in others the opposite. At the same time their own informed opinion on the marriage almost did not affect the results of the second phase of the study.

Couples who have observed accelerated response to negative evaluation, throughout the experiment displayed a decrease in satisfaction relationship, and those who unconsciously perceived their partners as a more positive marriages over time only strengthened regardless of the epithets that the couple "rewarded" each other.

According to psychologists, the findings suggest that visceral reaction to the "soul mate" far more impact on the success of marriage than you realize. "The conscious evaluation of the relationship, as a rule, is rational, but it can introduce the couple to make them confusing and wishful thinking" - explains Professor McNulty. The researchers believe that the experiment will help many couples to avoid some of the problems associated with their illusions about the attitude to each other and reveal the true state of affairs.
