Couples do not pass the third year

Does eternal love exist? According to recent studies it seems not. A British company examined 1,953 volunteers, from which a sad reality emerged: couples last less and less. The average life span of a relationship - whether married or not - would be around two years and nine months. Other than the seventh year crisis! The crisis seems to come much earlier and end in the worst way.

Between precarious balances, feelings that lose their intensity, misunderstandings and betrayals, 24% of married couples, 41% of those living together and 35% of those who live each on their own do not manage to celebrate the third year.
