The Benjamin Franklin Effect | The Science of Love

In order for a relationship to be successful, both partners need to feel invested. This theory was proven by the one and only Benjamin Franklin, who stated that the more time, effort, or work you put towards a person, the more you're personally investing in them, and the more you want it to work out. In this episode, we put real couples to the test to show you how it works.
