Research found that 77 per cent of adults living in rural Britain have found their soulmate - compare with 48 per cent in urban areas
It could be the fresher air, the inspiring landscapes, or the slower pace of life.
But people living in the countryside are far more likely to find true love than city dwellers, research has revealed.
It discovered 77 per cent of adults living in rural Britain have found their soulmate â€" compared with 48 per cent in urban areas.
Relationships in the countryside were also found to last twice as long.
As many as 61 per cent of countryside residents had been in a relationship for more than a decade â€" compared with just 21 per cent of urbanites.
And 55 per cent of those living in the sticks were married â€" 10 per cent more than urban areas.
As many as 51 per cent living in the country say the words ‘I love you’ at least once a day â€" compared with only 23 per cent in the city.
Relationships in the country are thought to have a better chance of surviving because couples are more loyal and ha ve more time for each other.
Couples were found to spend an average of six nights a week together â€" two more than those in the city. Only 10 per cent had cheated on their partner â€" while this went up to 20 per cent for those in cities.
In the study of 2,000 adults, by the TV channel Really, 63 per cent of country folk said they were ‘sexually satisfied’ compared with just 22 per cent in the city.
City dwellers put this down to their hectic lives, with 38 per cent claiming to be too tired or stressed.
Commenting on the findings, life coach Jenni Trent Hughes said: ‘Country living makes many of us calmer, more relaxed. It puts us in a better frame of mind which reflects well on our relationships.’
'There has always been a school of thought that spending time in nature and around animals helps bring us back to our basic natures.
Relationships in the country are thought to have a better chance of surviving because couples are more loyal and have more time for each other, the study found
'Put that together with the fresh air and huddling under a blanket on the sofa to keep warm and you’ll see why so many of us feel that country living is the perfect aphrodisiac.'
The average cost of a date in the city was revealed to be £65 - compared to just £31 in the countryside.
A total of 34 per cent of city dwellers admitted having money was an important characteristic in a partner, while only 11 per cent of those in rural areas felt the same.

Moving to Nova Scotia in Canada for collage education for 5 years, And will be living in a village of 4000 people, Can't wait, Just tired of living in city. First the pollution and the main thing just to many people in a city. Nothing can compare to a country, Where peace and quite is the norm.

I agree with you Siomac. Now in my fifties, the majority of the friendship group I had in my twenties and thirties left London and now live in the country. Some of them were born in London, but others were born in the country, lived in London in their youth, and then returned to the country once they'd had children.

These stats. need to be clarified in terms of specific ages. Maybe the average city dweller is younger?. And maybe people migrate to cities to find a 'mate' in the first place. Maybe people move to the country once they are financially secure?. Think I'll go home now and watch 'Withnail and I'.
