    Thank you to 'the couple connection'

    OnePlusOne has circulated information about the Enduring Love? Questionnaire through their ‘do it yourself’ relationship support service on the couple connection website.

    We had a phenomenal response to our survey! 2,269 respondents have now completed the questionnaire in the first 4 weeks. But we are not complacent and the more people who fill out the questionnaire, the more we will be able to say about the diversity of ways in which people are experiencing long-term relationships, as well as anything that people who stay together have in common.

    The Enduring Love? project launch took place on Monday 16 January 2012 at The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Conference Rooms, The County Hall, London.
