Couples that roast together, stay together.
In news that'll likely delight one half of couples all over the country, and indeed the world, a new study is suggesting that 'roasting' your partner can actually benefit your relationship.
According to researchers at Appalchian State University, couples who "roast each other daily" are more likely to have a longer and happier relationship.
Experts believe that teasing your partner actually highlights the things you love most about them and makes them feel "seen"- which makes for a strong and happy romance in the long-term.
Even when it comes to more serious issues, bring up problems in a light hearted way can help solve hard issues.
Discussing the findings of the study with Cosmopolitan, dating coach Laurel House said: "When you roast each other's quirks, you are effectively pointing out the little - sometimes ignored - sides to your personalities.
"Those quirks tend to be the things that you love the most about your partner."
On the other hand, the expert also believes that teasing your partner is a good way to bring up smaller issues you might be having in the relationship - i.e. them not doing the washing up or always needing to be reminded to pick up milk on the way home.
She added: "Bringing up problems in this fashion helps you to softly address the hard stuff. Often times, just by shedding light on an issue can let your partner know you're not into it."
In short, roast away!
