Married couples who exercise together communicate better. Researchers looked at exercise habits and relationships of married couples. The researchers focused on conflict resolution, the ability to listen, and the seriousness of marriage problems. A professor suggested that exercising together helped couples sort out problems. He said couples communicated better and had fewer problems when they exercised together.
The researchers compared couples exercising separately with those exercising together. The couples who exercised together were more successful at resolving marriage problems. The professor said about 60 per cent of couples said they exercised, but only a third exercised together. This means half the people who exercised did not do so with their spouse. The professor said exercising together affected relationships "in some meaningful way".
