Birth control PROVO, Utah, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sixty percent of Americans believe in the idea that true love is found in a one-and-only soulmate relationship, confirming that the quest to find one's soulmate continues to play a significant role in our modern dating culture. However, a new report finds that enduring connection in romantic relationships results more from the personal virtues and intentional efforts of the partners than it does from spontaneous love and emotional spark.
Key Points:
- The report challenges the notion that loving and lasting relationships are founded on the idea of a soulmate love.
- In fact, flourishing couples report scores that are typically three times higher than other couples on these intentional aspects of relationships.
- "The problem with the soulmate model of marriage is that it provides a deeply flawed conception of how to achieve this aspiration.
- The report examined how personal virtues and proactive behaviors are closely associated with the quality of relationships using data from the recently published study , "Satisfaction or Connectivity?

Tailor CARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Many people enter into marriage seeking heightened levels of intimacy, communication and togetherness but struggle to keep the fires burning in their relationship. A new report from the National Marriage Project and the Wheatley Institute found that there may be a simple way to help keep your marriage strong: date nights.
Key Points:
- Data from this study was used to determine 1 how date nights are linked to relationship quality, 2 whether one-on-one time is associated with lower divorce risks and 3 if date nights are tied to greater sexual satisfaction.
- Among the report's key findings:
Husbands and wives who engaged in frequent date nights were 14 to 15 percentage points more likely to report being "very happy" in their marriages, compared to those who enjoyed infrequent date nights.
- The report highlights five ways date nights are likely to foster stronger marriages and relationships:
Communication.
- "Efforts to promote date nights should provide couples with free or inexpensive options to rekindle the romance in their lives.

Nominal PROVO, Utah, Dec. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While many public reports have found that religion has a profoundly positive impact on people's lives, a new report from the Wheatley Institute suggests that many of these studies often underestimate the full benefits of religion. The report entitled, "A Not-So-Good Faith Estimate: Why Many Studies Underestimate the Full Benefits of Religion," explores how active engagement in home-centered religious practices-in addition to regularly attending their religious services-leads to experiencing the greatest benefits to individual well-being and relationship outcomes.
Key Points:
- The report entitled, "A Not-So-Good Faith Estimate: Why Many Studies Underestimate the Full Benefits of Religion," explores how active engagement in home-centered religious practices-in addition to regularly attending their religious services-leads to experiencing the greatest benefits to individual well-being and relationship outcomes.
- "Religious dosage matters," said Jason S. Carroll, associate director of the Wheatley Institute and co-author of the report.
- The study highlights the deficiencies with the common practice in many public studies of measuring religiosity solely by levels of church attendance.
- Many of the benefits of home-centered religious practices are even stronger in the United States than they are in other countries and are particularly strong for women.

Book WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While the most widely debated family rules used to revolve around curfews, going out with friends or access to the car, today's biggest family battles are often centered on a different concern: electronic devices. Parents limiting their children's' technology use is a crucial task given links between excessive use—especially of social media—and depression and anxiety in both correlational and experimental studies. But a new study shows that family structure and family connection can also play a role in the amount of time teens spend on the screen.
Key Points:
- But a new study shows that family structure and family connection can also play a role in the amount of time teens spend on the screen.
- A new report from the Institute for Family Studies and the Wheatley Institute observes the impact family structure can have on adolescents' interaction with digital media.
- Moreover, some 43% of teens in intact families say they have a family media plan and that media expectations are clear in their family, but only 35% of teens in single-parent families and 29% of teens in stepfamilies say this is the case in their family.
- "is the first study to examine technology and media use among America's teens segmenting their tech use by their family structure.
