Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator, commented on the findings: “It is surprising to see so many of the US’ failing relationships situated on the East Coast. The data could suggest the region has a specific contribution to the downfall of relationships, or perhaps the East Coast is more accepting of divorce and couples therapy, which is why the search volume is higher than seen in the West.”
“Despite the reasoning, it is distressing to see so many relationships struggling. Although, it is promsing to see a high search volume for couples therapy, as the practice currently has a 70% success rate.”
