Numbers can be cool.  They can tell a story. 

See what you gather from these interesting facts and statistics.
Picture
  • Due to jobs, kids, TV, the Internet, hobbies, and home and family responsibilities, the average married couple spends just four minutes a day alone together.1
  • The average married couple has sex 58 times per year, or slightly more than once a week.1
  • The U.S. average age at which people get married is 25.6 for women, and 27.7 for men.2
  • Approximately $6 billion in revenue is lost by American businesses as a result of decreased worker productivity linked to marriage hardship. Employees in a happy marriage, in contrast, tend to increase a company’s bottom line.3
  • Stress associated with divorce affects the body’s immune system and its ability to fend off disease. The health benefits of remarriage are reduced the second and third times around.3
  • Just two years after marriage, an estimated 20% of couples make love fewer than 10 times in a year.3
  • Compared to singles, married people accumulate about four times more savings and assets. Those who divorced had assets 77% lower than singles.

  • More than friendship, laughter, forgiveness, compatibility, and sex, spouses name trust as the element crucial for a happy marriage.3
  • Eighty-five percent of couples have had premarital sex.3
  • Words form only 7% of our communication with anyone, including spouses. Tone of voice accounts for 38% and body language is responsible for 55% of the messages spouses receive from each other.3
  • Married people are twice as likely to go to church as unmarried people.3
  • Marriage involves 1,138 federal benefits and responsibilities.4
  • There are nearly 2,100,000 marriages in the US.5
  • Washington, D.C., has the lowest marriage rate in the nation.6

BE CAREFUL of crypto platforms promising huge returns. They lure people into fake programs. I lost 198,450 USD last year. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on the Bitcoin Abuse Forum about HACKERSTEVE. I contacted him via his email on [email protected] | https://hackersteve.great-site.net/, and he helped me recover all my funds. If you've also been a victim of financial scams, don't hesitate to get in touch with him.

After following his instructions, my fiancé surprisingly showed up at my doorstep, apologized, and now we're living happily together again.
