An unusual therapy that involves looking at cute pictures of puppies or bunnies can help rekindle the fading passion in your marriage, scientists have found. Previous research has shown that marriage satisfaction often declines even when day-to-day behaviours stay the same. Images of a spouse were repeatedly paired with very positive words or images - like puppies and bunnies. Participants in the study included 144 married couples, all under the age of 40 and married for less than 5 years. As in other research, more positive automatic reactions to the partner predicted greater improvements in marital satisfaction over the course of the study.
