Social networks are often associated with negative prejudices such as slurring, interrupting, and bribing others.
However, a recent study has brought a surprising perspective as couples who regularly chat tend to be closer and happier, according to hindustantimes.
The research was conducted by a group of experts at the University of California, Riverside (USA) and published in the international scientific journal Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (JSPR).
The study surveyed 76 couples in southern California, participants who were recorded with EAR devices.
The results show that couples who spend an average of 38 minutes a day chatting about others (not necessarily negative) will have a better relationship. The story can revolve around positive, neutral stories, or simply sharing daily observations.
According to researchers, it is the discussion of the third person together that creates the feeling of "on the same side", like a team.
This sends an underlying message: I/I want to share this only with you, thereby strengthening trust, intimacy and a sense of security in the relationship. In other words, these small conversations are the invisible glue that binds two people together.
In particular, the study also shows that same-sex couples (groups that tend to share more) often report higher levels of satisfaction in their relationship.
That further affirms that chatting is not useless, but also helps improve mood, reduce stress and increase emotional harmony.
Of course, not all negotiations are positive. But the important thing is that when shared in a spirit of intimacy and trust, it becomes a bridge, helping couples understand each other better.
Instead of considering gossip as an ugly act, perhaps it is time for us to consider it as a "spore" that contributes to nurturing happiness in love.
