In a subject suitable for Valentine's Day, Slate.com blog Future Tense reported on Feb. 14 about a new study on massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) and their effects on marriages. The study was conducted by Brigham Young University, and while the BYU press release about the study leads with bad news ("Online role-playing games hurt marital satisfaction"), there's good news in the findings for GeekMoms and their spouses who like gaming.
According to the study, which was based on a study of 349 couples, "for couples in which both spouses play, 76 percent said that gaming has a positive effect on their marital relationship."
