A new survey has revealed that not talking about issues – such as health and finance – can harm a relationship.
More than 2,800 Britons in a relationship took part in the study. Some 67% said that when it comes to topics such as financial health, they would be comfortable talking to their partner. However, a third admitted that they would not.
When it comes to physical health, 69% said they would be comfortable talking to their other half about the subject, with 62% saying the same if they were to discuss their mental health.
In addition, respondents were asked how they feel when they need to discuss sensitive issues, including illness, debt and death. Just 14% confessed that they felt comfortable about doing so.
Commenting on the findings, Chris Horlick, Director at AXA, said: "It goes without saying that people who plan for their future healthcare and financial needs – and discuss plans with their partners – will be in better shape to make the most of opportunities available to them.
"In an ageing society it is important for us to be open with our loved one, particularly as, with the new pensions freedoms that came in last year, we have many more choices and opportunities today to access our retirement pots to fund our lifestyles.
"AXA is well placed to help make these taboos a thing of the past by encouraging people to open up and start planning for a long, healthy and enjoyable future."
The above study is part of a new programme from AXA that looks at the role of mental, physical and financial health on a person's overall wellbeing. Further information can be found here.
