According to a recent study in Great Britain, a humble cup of tea has become the secret to the strongest marriages, and because of this, people are starting to say that tea is better than sex, at least for women.
Is a cup of tea more satisfying than sex?
According to the study, men win women over by preparing and bringing a cup of tea with breakfast in bed, as this builds a lifelong bond. According to the study, these thoughtful gestures for a partner are even more effective than giving flowers.
In the study, in addition to being asked to answer a series of formal questions that involved rating their satisfaction with different aspects of their relationship, couples were given a blank space and asked to list two things their partner does to make them feel appreciated.
On that list, so many participants indicated that making tea was very important that tea had to be given its own category when the results were analyzed. The study spokesperson said: "There's something uniquely British about a cup of tea, which definitely seems to speak a thousand words."
When the results were separated, women indicated that drinking a cup of tea made by their men was a sign of love, even more so of feeling heard and their opinions valued, and far ahead of sexual intimacy.
For women with children, having their partners make tea was the fourth most important way they felt appreciated.
The study didn't determine whether men value tea less than women or whether they simply have less desire to get up and make it. In any case, both men and women enjoy a good organic tea , as there is such a variety of organic teas and they are so healthy, that it's worth giving and indulging in the pleasure of a good cup. From the stimulating experience of rooibos and cinnamon cream tea, to the exquisiteness of jasmine tea and many other flavors.
