Be proud of your marriage

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Through our research, we've determined that how a couple views their relationship's history, what we call "The Story of Us," is a big factor in how successful and happy they might be going forward.

When discussing The Story of Us, we found that couples either “glorify the struggle” by being proud of the good times in their relationship and by making light of the bad, or they focus on their disagreements and look back on them with resentment.

In fact, when couples view their relationship's history in a negative light, it is one of our largest predictors of divorce.

So, are you proud of your marriage?

If you and your partner are able to glorify the struggle, then you're more likely to highlight the good times and have a happy relationship going forward.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
