Key to healthy relationship: steamy cup of tea

London: Women believe that the secret to a healthy relationship is receiving a hot cup of tea orcoffee made by their partners, rather than engaging in hot sex , a new research has found.

Report author Dr Jacqui Gabbsaid that actions speak louder than words and many people consider a loving gesture to be as valuable as hearing 'I love you,' the Daily Star reported.

Gabb added that although romantic gestures are appreciated, they don't nurture a relationship as much as bringing your partner a cup of tea in bed or watching TV together.

The findings also revealed that couples without children have happier marriages than couples with kids as they spend more time with each other.
