Couples who cuddle often are 8 times more likely to be happy in their relationship than those who don't.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that couples who cuddle often are 8 times more likely to be happy in their relationship than those who don't is not directly supported by the evidence. While studies indicate a positive correlation between cuddling and relationship satisfaction, the specific statistic of being '8 times more likely' is not substantiated. The evidence shows that 94% of couples who cuddle report being happy compared to 68% who do not, but this does not equate to an 8-fold increase in happiness. Therefore, the claim is misleading.

Couples who cuddle often are 8 times more likely to be happy in their relationship than those who don't.
The evidence suggests a positive correlation between cuddling and relationship satisfaction, but the specific claim of being '8 times more likely' is not supported. Studies show a significant difference in happiness between couples who cuddle and those who don't, but not to the extent claimed. Therefore, the claim is misleading rather than entirely false.
