A long-term survey conducted by a Japanese insurance company on "couples who keep pets" found that having pets at home seems to have a positive impact on the relationship between couples! So how will having pets at home affect the relationship between couples?

1. Pets can increase the conversation between couples

When couples stay together for a long time, they will unknowingly become "the most familiar strangers." The time for daily communication is squeezed by work and life. It is very likely that things that colleagues know are not known to the person around them.

At this time, couples can have a pet. The number of topics will increase greatly!

71% of the respondents said that conversations and topics between couples have increased because of pets. (Dogs are so cute, how can they not show off~~)

2. How do pets react when couples quarrel?

Remember that joke? My husband and his wife were arguing, and the husband pretended to hit his wife, but the dog yelled at his father. The father went to the study room angrily, and the mother sadly said to the dog, "Daddy doesn't love us anymore." As a result, the dog went to the study room and pooped at his feet...

The survey found that 23% of dogs would try to break up a fight. Yelling at the owner and deliberately causing damage may be the dog's petty tricks...

However, the vast majority of dogs will still hide in corners, escape from the scene of the quarrel, or even feel scared. (It’s so pitiful)

3. What impact does raising a pet have on personal life?

The changes in my wife after raising a dog --- (Complaint from her husband)

(The wife who went shopping before raising a dog)

(The wife who went out for a walk after raising a dog)

Hahaha, let me laugh for a while~~~

Many people surveyed said that after raising a pet, the emotional focus of both parties tends to shift from themselves to the pet. 4. Do pets have a positive impact on the relationship between husband and wife?

For the vast majority of couples, dogs have a positive impact on their relationship. (Dogs are very good at reading people’s eyes. Only when they are happy can dogs eat and drink well. They are not stupid!)

Netizen comments:

-The changes in my dog-raising, it seems that I spend less money on myself~~~

-Me too, When I was at home, I was only responsible for playing with Doudou, and never took care of it. Every time I would shout, "Mom, Doudou peed." Now my husband calls me, "Wife, Xiaomei peed."

-I was trapped by stocks first, and then by dogs. My 2015 was miserable!
