AI reveals sexual satisfaction and commitment are predictors of a relationship's success

Artificial intelligence (AI) may not be programmed to love, but it can determine the top predictors for a happy relationship. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers conducted a machine learning analysis of over 11,000 couples and found romantic success is achieved when partners believe the other person is fully committed. The technology revealed other elements including feeling close, appreciated and sexual satisfaction all lead to a successful partnership. On the other hand, the data also showed factors that run the risk of a doomed romance – depression and insecure attachment. The study was conducted by a team from University of California and other researchers around the world, who analyzed 11,196 couples across 43 distinct self-reported datasets.
