The ability to admit when you are wrong after an argument is the number one sign that your relationship will last, according to research.
Regular date nights, twice weekly sex sessions and saying 'I love you' every night before going to sleep are also among the top five tricks to keeping the spark alive.
For those who are counting, the ideal number of kisses and cuddles exchanged on any given day should not be less than five.
Interestingly, working full time is more conducive to domestic harmony, with a shared taste in films and a mutual willingness to do the washing up also listed as important.
