About this episode

According to the Daily Mail, the “seven year itch” in relationships is now a thing of the past. The average relationship length is just two years and nine months, according to a UK survey from 2014. 

Since the late 20th century, long-lasting relationships have tended to be the exception rather than the norm. It’s a trend that has fascinated researchers, with many carrying out studies in search of the secrets behind a lasting relationship.

What can we learn from those studies then? What about physical signs of affection? What factors are giveaways that a relationship won’t last then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
