    This just in: Spending time together makes your relationship much better and more solid!!

    This is no surprise. The real surprise is that people need studies to find out that the more time a couple spends together (and in turn learns what the other is like and what the other likes), then that relationship will grow.

    Co-op gaming is ALOT of fun with your partner.

    Hmm that's weird, so what this study is saying is that if I just ignore my gf and play video games by myself all the time, then my relationship probably won't be as strong? Weird, I'd never have guessed that.

        I don't think many people do know that, Big. Which is the sad part.

        But I'm sure Hawkeye was just kidding.

    My girlfriend and I play Gears of War and Halo together. I've tried to get her to play LBP with me but she can't stand the PS3 .

    Guys, there is something seriously wrong with 20% of your population.

    So...."Those that Play Together, Stay Together" yes?

    Not surprising. Any sort of positive group/couple activity would improve a relationship, or at least not hurt it (Unless one was a jerk of course).

    It's nice to do something that you both enjoy together once in a while.
    But it's a little weird if it's all you do.
