So many partnerships have most in the course of their lives

Well, how many times have you tried it? How many people did you think she could be the one to stay with you until the end of your life?

The theory of some couple therapists Says that we must at least fall in love twice before we are even able to love in the long term and to share our lives with someone (although this theory does not necessarily rule out falling in love with the same person several times!).

But this theory also coincides with practice? Or does the romantic story of sandbox love, which turns out to be the only true one and become a lifelong relationship, happen in reality perhaps more often than you think? Or do many even come up with even more partnerships than three, now that we all live longer and personal freedom and individuality are written bigger and bigger? "Elite Partner" has thankfully accepted the clarification of these questions!

5,700 adults interviewed

In an online survey, the dating and dating portal has asked Internet users to indicate how many relationships have you had in your previous one? the current inclusive, A total of 5,691 have answered and behold! The absolute majority confirmed the theory: 53 percent of respondents had between two and four relationships. The average number calculated by ElitePartner was 3.4 partnerships.

Most, who deviated from the majority, did so narrowly in this study: 16 percent had first a relationship, 15 percent said they have already experienced five to six partnerships, Of extreme partner hopping, so 15 relationships or more, reported with only two percent, the least of the respondents.

Is the life-long partnership dying?

What the ElitePartner study also revealed: The one, lifelong partnership seems to be rarer, At least 22 percent of the 60 to 69-year-olds said they only looked back on a relationship? Compared to the average (16 percent), which this group of respondents is likely to have significantly increased themselves, a significantly higher value.

But does that mean that two to four relationships are the golden path because most of them go? Or just the one, although that does not create so many today? Of course not! Whether we need one, two, three or 18 attempts to settle on someone does not matter at all? as long as we learn from our experiences and are happy with ourselves!
