The web site Medical Daily, had an article on five benefits of meditation. The first four are well known: better sleep, pain management, mood lift, emotional intelligence. It was the last one which caught my eye. Couple who meditate together find their relationship becomes stronger, healthier. Here's what the site says:
"Dyadic meditation refers to the practice of two people meditating together. It is believed that this could help improve relationships with a partner by promoting closeness and communication.
As researcher Bethany Kok notes, regular conversations are often constrained and focused on what a person should say next instead of listening to others. Dyadic meditation, on the other hand, teaches people to pay close attention and listen to their partner in a calm, accepting manner."
