Forget Dr. Corazón, pets are the best medicine when it comes to maintaining a relationship.
Rachela Crocó, author of the book, "<i>The Ape and I: Why It's So Easy to Love an Animal, and So Hard to Live with a Man</i>", says when couples share a pet, they become closer and see their own faults in their animals.
For instance, Crocó says she once shared her pet ape with an ex-boyfriend and began to see her own personality traits reflected in the ape, such as selfishness, lack of tolerance, bad breath, mass genital hair and bullheadedness.
Although she didn't recognize her own pitfalls in time to save the relationship, Crocó says she plans on using what she now knows about herself for future relationships.
"<i>I'm starting to shave and brush my teeth</i>," told a convinced Rachela.
In addition, Crocó says pets help us accept our partners for who they are because, as she puts it, "<i>With pets, we have to accept them because we can't change them. It should work the same way with humans.</i>"
