I'm learning more about love right now and in particular what I'm wondering is: How do relationship last for long?. As I was reading in my Google Reader, this magazine article caught my attention because of the title. The title of this article is "The Game of Love: Relationship Expert Says Couples That Play Together Stay Together." The title made me think that when couples play together then their relationship can last longer.
The quote I chose here is basically saying that experts have find out that more women want to win when they play with their partner while men prefer to let their partner win. It has been said that this provides a better relationship.
I think this is not accurate because its just what they have figure out by a survey so I don't think that this can be really true. Not every relationship can last with this statement. I think that a relationship can last with love. It makes me wonder about how does other things besides love influence a good relationship.
While compromise is critical in relationships, all bets are off once the gaming begins. Nearly 70 percent of Americans admit that if they were playing a video game during a date, they'd rather win than let their date come out on top. Surprisingly, the fairer sex is more aggressive when it comes to playing to win - more than 80 percent of women compete to beat their date during a video game, compared to 56 percent of men. With 44 percent of men planning to let their date win, perhaps chivalry isn't dead after all.
