Hey Las Vegas, are we going to bed at the same time? If not, then maybe we should be and here's why! According to Psychology Today, going to bed at the same time as your partner improves your chances of being HAPPIER in your relationship! In the article it states, "Sex or no sex, going to bed as a couple is a gateway to increased connection." And to be honest, if you're in a relationship, that's not a bad thing!

"Hey Honey, Let's Go To Bed!"

Whether it's going to be to watch tv, talk, or even read, getting into bed together at the same time is considered a positive in a relationship. Even if you're just laying there scrolling through your phone...it's a WIN-WIN situation! On the other hand, those couples that go hit the rack at different times, it says that they are less likely to connect.

Close to 300 people involved in relationships were surveyed and asked a variety of questions that lead to the conclusion. Go to bed together, the happier you will be! It's that simple. Now keep in mind that you both don't have to go to sleep right away, but the fact that you are wrapping up your day together makes for a better relationship.

However, there is a downside to all this. Keep in mind that people who were less satisfied at bedtime tend to be less satisfied sexually. That of course lead to being less satisfied in your relationship and in the end, less satisfied overall in life! OH NO! Sad emoji right?

Nonetheless, if your relationship is in the tank, one way to turn things around...go to bed together. And if that is the answer, wouldn't it be great...to mend that broken relationship is just say each night, "hey honey, let's go to bed!" 

How Happy Are Married Couples In Nevada

Everyone knows that Las Vegas can be a fun place to live, but what if you're married. It might be hard to stay married in Las Vegas, but how happy are married couples in the state of Nevada? According to one article put out by Zippia, we're not very happy!

Exactly how happy are married couples in the State of Nevada?

To determined "happiness" the survey considered the following factors:

    You factor in all these things to find which state has the happiest people. Now consider the fact that married people tend to be happier to start with.  With all that said, it's sad to say that, despite all the fun we might have to offer in the state of Nevada, we are ranked #34! Even though our "Depression Rate" is a 3, we fall low on scores in the other categories.

    You would think that with everything our state offers, we can't be happier? The great outdoors, hiking trails, enjoying the lakes in both Southern and Northern Nevada? Think of all the shows, concerts. It seems like there is always something to do here. On the flipside, that might be the problem as well.

    With gambling, being a 24 hour town, it sometimes is difficult to curb the urges with all that Las Vegas has to offer. As we all know, there's no "last call" here in our great state. Sometimes that can be an issue. That alone can be one huge reason as to why being married in this state is tough.

    You can be take some solace that we are "happier" than those in the state of Texas, Florida and even in the tiny state of Rhode Island! By the way, the least happiest state...Louisiana! But what  states tend to be the happiest when you're married, you might be surprised. Do yourself a favor, scroll down and see what they are for yourself!
