It was interesting to read the article about couples not talking to each other.

That doesn't mean they are unhappy with each other - rather there is contentment and things are going along nicely.

As for spending time in another room, that is usually if there is a football match the wife doesn't wish to see.

Usually there are two televisions and she has her own programme, book or even The Argus.

So that is the answer. I know it's true because my husband and I have been married for 63 years and are ticking over nicely.
