"   No plans for tonight yet? Lock some down with your guy and your fave couple\u2014dinner, movie, happy hour, whatever\u2014and you may reap some serious relationship rewards. According to new research, discussed in the book Two Plus Two: Couples and Their Couple Friendships, couples that have close friendships with other couples are in happier, healthier relationships. In the book, researchers interviewed more than 120 couples about their friendships, and found that having interactions with other twosomes often made a woman feel more in tune with her guy&amp;#039;s life, and vice-versa.

Plus, hanging with other pairs can also make you feel tighter and even more attracted to each other, since it might spark some friendly competition as to who&amp;#039;s the better-for-each-other couple.
