The study, commissioned by Warner Bros. to promote the release of their comedy Hall Pass in U.K. cinemas, found the top three bug-bears and passion-killers for couples are weight gain or lack of exercise, money or spend thriftiness and anti-social working hours. The poll compared feedback from those in short term relationships (defined as less than three years) and people who were in long term partnerships or married. Of those surveyed, 67% said small irritations which are seemingly harmless and often endearing during the first flushes of love often expand into major irritations around 36 months. The findings also revealed that people in the early stages of love can expect an average of three compliments every week from their partners, with the figure falling to an average of one per week at the three-year mark. One of the research participants, Judi James, commented on the 'three-year itch': "Longer working hours combined with money worries are clearly taking their toll on modern relationships and we are seeing an increasing trend for solo holidays and weekends away from marriages and relationships in order to revive the romantic spark." http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Reveals-UK-Couples-Lose-Romance-after-3-Years-00042 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Reveals-UK-Couples-Lose-Romance-after-3-Years-00042 A recent survey commissioned to coincide with the DVD release of the movie Marmaduke has discovered that many Britons rank their pets higher than their love lives. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Finds-Brits-Prefer-Pets-over-Partners-00054 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Finds-Brits-Prefer-Pets-over-Partners-00054 A survey which took place across university campuses around the UK has shown that body image is an issue for females of every age, with a third of women saying they would trade at least a year of their life to achieve their ideal body shape and weight. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/New-Survey-Sheds-Light-on-UK-Women-00056 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/New-Survey-Sheds-Light-on-UK-Women-00056 A study conducted by Opinion Matters for the Edward Monkton and Purple Ronnie brands has found that children are made happiest by friends, family and birthdays rather than with computer games and other gadgets. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Uncovers-What-Makes-Children-Happiest-00069 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Uncovers-What-Makes-Children-Happiest-00069 The HSBC Home Improvement Survey has found that while many Brits may have chosen to organise street parties or get away whether locally or abroad during the recent bank holiday weekends, 40% have chosen to stay put and indulge themselves with home-loving improvements. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Shows-Many-Brits-Poised-for-Bank-Holiday-Home-Improvements-00080 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Shows-Many-Brits-Poised-for-Bank-Holiday-Home-Improvements-00080 Britain is well known as a nation of animal lovers, but new research has shown just how much the countries obsession with its pampered pets is costing it each year. http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Reveals-Cost-of-Britains-Pet-Obsession-00082 http://www.djsresearch.co.uk/PublicConsultationsMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Survey-Reveals-Cost-of-Britains-Pet-Obsession-00082 DisplaySearch, a Californian market research and consulting firm has found that British consumers are world leaders when it comes to replacing their TV sets over the last three years.
