    How many does yours tick?

    There are lots of tips and tricks to keeping your relationship a happy one available out there, with everything from the three things you should never say to your partner to the secrets of a happy relationship being starting a hobby together. The internet even told us the best age to get married (apparently).

    And, now, latest research from a survey conducted for the Two Together Railcard in the UK promises to tell us the exact signs of a successful pairing.

    It's nothing that new, with everything from the ability to admit when you're wrong to going out on regular date nights and having sex twice a week but it's pretty handy to have a definitive checklist to remember to tell our significant other that we love them and appreciate them.

    These results even tell you the optimum amount of kisses and hugs you two should be exchanging in a day...
