A daily dose of four kisses, three cuddles and one "I love you" may help keep a relationship alive, a survey has revealed.
Partners should also have a two-year age gap, share two hobbies and have sex three times a week, the Confetti.co.uk poll found.
Other secrets to a lasting liaison include two romantic meals a month, three nights of the week cuddling on the sofa together, regular contact, two surprise weekends away every year, one annual foreign holiday and two UK breaks, says The Daily Telegraph.
Researchers also found that two separate nights out with friends a month are advised to ensure some independence, and that the longest lasting relationships involve people who met through friends and who married after being together for three-and-a-half years.
More than 3,000 married adults took part in the poll, which found that a man should ideally be two years and three months older than his partner and should tie the knot aged 31.
With the credit crunch and people out of work, I can't see too many people being able to afford all those things. Does that mean that all those relationships affected by it are now doomed?
