A new British study has identified five types of relationship and commitment styles, and discovered which type is most likely to get married. Find out what your relationship says about your future together.
Couple style Conflict ridden
If you often get into verbal fights and have equally passionate sex after patching up, your couple style is conflict-ridden. This couple style overlaps with cyclical relationships, where couples part ways for a while, only to get back together again with the same level of intensity.
What it means You aren't as likely to break up and could be doing the pheras if you can just stop tearing each other's hair out!
Celebrity match Singers Katy Perry and John Mayer They've been having an on-again, off-again coupling since 2012. New pictures of the twosome leaving a nightclub together have sparked off rumours of a reunion again.
Couple style Partner focussed
If the happiness and well-being of your mate is your highest concern, and vice versa, you have a partner focussed relationship. You both have plenty of things in common, enjoy spending a lot of time together and help each other grow.
What it means You both are least likely to break up and are the kind, who make and see through long-term relationship goals, so marriage may be on the cards after all.
Celebrity match Pop star Taylor Swift and DJ Calvin Harris Both are riding high in their respective musical careers and still spend quality time together. While Taylor cheers for Harris at his gigs, he flies down for hers.
Couple style Space centred
This isn't the first time you are in love. You've both learned from mistakes in your previous relationships and give each other plenty of room, physically and socially. You respect each other's privacy and feelings. Spending time together isn't a duty but a happy choice when it comes to couples like you.
What it means Compatible is the keyword, it sets the foundation for a lasting committment. Chances of spending your lives together are high.
Celebrity match Pop star Gwen Stefani and country singer Blake Shelton Friends for many years, they started dating this year after splitting from their respective partners. Sources say they have an undeniable chemistry, and both are down-to-earth people with gentle personalities.
Couple style Socially involved
If your friends and family's approval is top priority in choosing your mate, you belong to this category. Your reasons for dating someone could run like 'My parents and friends like her' or 'He's a family kind of guy'. Your partner is your best friend as well as your lover.
What it means You have a bright future together thanks to the importance you place on common social networks, and the solid friendship you share. Celebrity match Actors Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed These do-gooders met on the set of Vampire Diaries and found a common chord in their love for animals. The newly-weds travel the world together to support a number of social causes.
Couple style Dramatic
Do you have a rollercoaster relationship You belong to one-third of the couple population. You fit into the first group, dubbed 'dramatic commitment'. You tend to justify the negativity in your relationship by claiming that you 'aren't good together'. You have a habit of blaming issues on the fact that your partner doesn't spend enough time with you.
What it means You are most likely to break up among the four categories. Women in this category are deemed the most miserable.
Celebrity match Boy band One Direction's Zayn Malik and singer Perrie Edwards They've been together since 2011 and were even engaged, but public ups-and-downs and Zayn's heartthrob status distanced Perrie and they've called it quits.
