TRAVEL ASSOCIATION". SPECIFICALLY, 63-PERCENT OF THE

"OUR SURVEY
REVEALS THAT TRAVEL CREATES A WIDE RANGE OF POSITIVE EFFECTS ON
RELATIONSHIPS: COUPLES WHO TRAVEL TOGETHER ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE
LIKELY TO REPORT THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS MORE ROMANTIC, MORE
INTIMATE, AND MORE BALANCED. ALSO, COUPLES WHO TRAVEL TOGETHER
FEEL [THAT] THEY'RE CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER--AND [ARE] MORE LIKELY TO
REPORT THAT THEY ARE 'BEST FRIENDS'. THE SURVEY [ALSO] ASKED THE
COUPLES TO CONSIDER 13 DIFFERENT ASPECTS THAT DRIVE SATISFACTION IN A
RELATIONSHIP--ASPECTS SUCH AS SPENDING MORE TIME TOGETHER, LAUGHING,
HAVING FUN, [AND] SHARING SIMILAR GOALS AND DESIRES; AND, THEY SAID
[THAT] THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO IDENTIFY THOSE 13 THINGS IN DESCRIBING A
PERFECT RELATIONSHIP."
