More sex. Fewer fights. Has the pandemic actually been good for relationships?
A poll finds American adults are happy with their partnerships, perhaps because lockdown has pushed couples to grow
From the earliest days of the pandemic, experts anticipated that the stress of Covid-19 would wreak havoc on romantic relationships (and in some cases, they were right).

According to a national poll released in February by Monmouth University, a whopping 70% of romantically committed American adults are “extremely satisfied” in their relationships. This figure marks a more than 11-point increase over previous installations of the survey, which the university has conducted for more than six years.
