Relationship Highs And Lows Are Not Two Sides Of The Same Coin, New Research Finds

Plus, the reverse is true, too. The researchers found that partners who do not engage in supportive communication often will place more weight on their conflict and ultimately feel less content in their relationship overall.

Finally, some scientists have suggested that couples experience a “plateauing pattern.” In other words, once partners have reached a certain threshold of how often they experience either pleasant or painful interactions, more of the same will not make them feel a different level of content.

But, the researchers’ findings did not support this theory. This means that continuous effort to engage in meaningful and compassionate interactions can increase a person’s relationship satisfaction. And more frequent instances of apathetic interactions can do the opposite, too.
