The recipe for a perfect marriage includes six meaningful conversations, three long walks – and two barn-storming rows every month, according to research.A study of 2,000 UK happily wedded adults also shows they benefit from taking a short break away together twice a year, as well as two longer holidays.And it pays to be affectionate, as the most contented couples reckon they have sex five times a week, and say “I love you” up to 20 times a fortnight.They also kiss two or three times a day, and cuddle 11 times every week.The Warner Leisure Hotels study also revealed the top 50 elements that are key to a happy marriage – including pursuing your own hobbies and interests, allowing your other half to see you at your worst, and being silly with each other.Couples also place importance on listening to each other grumble about work, showing the other how proud you are of them, and being respectful in front of others.Simon Thompson, managing director of the adult-only hotel group, which commissioned the research, said: “We weren’t surprised to see that taking short breaks is one of the secret ingredients to a happy marriage.“Many couples who visit us say they feel closer after a romantic weekend relaxing and unwinding together – and it certainly helps that neither have to do the chores.“This quality time spent enjoying shared interests seems to be a winning formula for a lasting marriage, along with placing value on time apart pursuing individual hobbies.“However, as this survey clearly shows, it takes a good mix of humour, affection, understanding and interest to keep a relationship exciting.”Other tips shared by those deeply happy in wedlock include forgiving bad habits, not going to sleep on an argument, and turning a blind

Reddit, he wrote: “I’ve just come over to visit my parents and over the week their neighbour has added what looks like a decent quality security camera to the top of his hobby radio antenna.“I just noticed it and felt like it wasn’t right, he’s got cameras for his property (which I can understand) but one that high up and can be turned to look into other neighbours’ backyards just feels wrong.“I’ve got no idea why he needs one that high up, occasionally a couple channels on my parents’ TV would get crappy signal from what I would assume be him using his radios.”The massive radio antenna does have a very visible security camera attached to it, but it is unclear whether or not the camera is real or fake – or what the purpose of the antenna is.Reddit users agreed that the situation was “odd”, slamming the owner of the device as a “loose cannon”.One user posted: “I feel like most people would reason that the sort of person who would do this in the first place - have a big a*** antenna, and a security camera - is probably something of a loose cannon.“That’s creepy.“Bad enough for your parents, but if there are folks with second storey bedrooms anywhere near there’s nothing to stop this from surveilling their windows (sic).”For more stories and breaking news from the Daily Star, make sure you sign up for one of our newsletters here.However, one poster suggested that the equipment might actually be for a more innocent, and actually useful service.They wrote: “My old man is a geek for amateur meteorology and he has a weather tower on the roof of this house with a camera pointing towards the ocean for watching storms,” one user explained.“A neighbour came around one afternoon worried about it being pointed towards residents but
