Looking for Romantic Ideas for Your Marriage? Move to France!

Couples looking for romance in the US are suffering more than couples in other countries, and need help. The study by ING Direct USA found that nearly 30% of Americans claim the recession has added stress and killed the romance the romance; compared to Canadian couples at 23%; 24% for the French, and just 12% for Germans.

It is clear from the study that if American couples want stronger and romantic marriages, they need more guidance. In fact, American couples need more relationship help than couples in other countries, especially if they are to save their marriage from national and local economic stresses.

The study reinforces what marriage educators already know, according to Jeff Ullman, Co-Chief Happiness Partner of HappierCouples-Romance.com, an online relationship coaching and concierge website. "If couples want any real chance at romance and living happier ever after, they better educate themselves about their greatest asset: their relationship!" According to Co-Chief Happiness Partner, Cindy Ullman: "The one area where too many couples did not splurge enough on during the recent years of debt, was on romance. Sure they wracked up plenty of high-priced items, but they almost wrecked their marriage! How much fun did they really have with their spouse? Did they have regular date nights; both would have strengthened their bonds."
The Ullmans should know a few things about romance and relationships, because they helped more people meet and marry than anyone in the 20th Century, through the company that Jeff created, Great Expectations. "It is not easy to keep your vows in the 21st Century. We created HappierCouples-romance.com to help couples know what to do after they said, 'I do!". By helping couples increase their fun, passion and Romance, and make it front and center in their relationship, any couple can come closer to living happier ever after. The site is a multimedia relationship coaching and concierge resource for couples. "American couples need all the help they can get with our economy in the dumpster, as it has been for so long now," said Jeff Ullman.

According to the ING study, Americans polled believed they will have to work an additional 10 years before they're able to retire. This pessimism outlook was not reflected in the comments of Europeans who were also polled.

Dr. Robert Epstein, former Editor-In-Chief of Psychology Today and creator of The Love Contract, has seen an increasing level of conflict, stress, pressure and divorce as a result of economic pressures. "It's not just the economy causing so much unhappiness for couples; it is mostly the sad fact that couples do not do what is necessary to keep their relationship as good as they want it to be. They want the fairy tale romance to be true without putting in the work."

The online survey of more than 1,000 adults conducted in Canada, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia also showed Americans are worried about credit card debt.

That's yet another reason U.S. couples need a checkup of their relationship. A happy, romantic relationship should NOT depend on your credit rating".
