Love and happiness are two things we learn at a young age to seek in life. As we get older and enter romantic relationships, we become influenced by our romantic partners. To better understand the extent to which we impact our romantic partners, Digital Third Coast surveyed 2,000 people about how their relationships influence health habits.
Digital Third Coast found:
- Women are 56% more likely to encourage bad health habits in their partners
- Cooking and grocery shopping with your partner promotes healthier living
- Healthy partners have more influence than unhealthy partners
- Women are 60% more likely than men to have an unhealthy partner

The good thing about having a positive and healthy romantic partner in your life is always having someone to talk to about your day, be there for good/bad times, and eat together. From a person who has had both healthy and toxic romantic partners, I can tell you it makes a big difference when there is someone truly in your corner. Having a romantic partner who you know is not doing right by you can cause depression, weight gain, overall illness.
When you have a healthy and encouraging partner, you are likely more positive about life and motivated to become the best version of yourself. You may even lose some weight or start to eat healthier by your partner offering feedback to take better care of yourself.
