When was the last time your toaster gave you relationship advice or your washing machine reminded you of an important anniversary?

When it comes to improving your relationship, most household appliances don't hold any mettle. The digital video recorder, or DVR, however, is apparently the Dr. Phil of household technology.

According to a new report by a DVR technology company, 79% of 1000 people surveyed reported that DVR's have improved their relationships.  

"It's one of those technologies that, once you use it, it makes you wonder how you coped before," Steve Tranter, vice president of NDR, a DVR technology manufacturer told The Hollywood Reporter.

Although the article doesn't get into specifics as to how this technology actually improves relationships, we're willing to venture a guess; it completely takes the whole remote control power play out of the picture.

Just think about how many less fights you're having now that you don't have to fight over whether or not you'll be watching "Lost" or "Ugly Betty."

Is there a certain device that has helped improve your relationship, or do you think it all boils down to interpersonal communication?

I made a promise to tell my testimony all over the globe once my man come back to me and my husband came just as DR abaka told me when he helped me. I made the right choice to have contacted DR abaka the great spell caster who is capable of helping you solve your problems. My man left me to suffer and i never believed that he will come back to me again but when i contacted DR abaka he assured me that my man will come again. he gave me some list of items to buy but i could not get them in my country and so i sent him the money and he bought the items and prepared the perfect love spell. My husband ran back to me in 3 days time begging for forgiveness THIS IS SO REAL AND GENUINE. NO SCAMS. I was so surprise that the spell worked just as he told me. This is so amazing and i want you to believe because DR abaka is so real and i urge you contact him now on his email so that he can also help you the way he helped me. email is Drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also contact him with his phone number on whats app +2349063230051 you can also check and contact him on htpp://Drabakaspelltemple.blogspot.com

It was DVR that saved my fiance and I recently... it was the Wii. Since we've had it we fight less and have fun being kids again looking at the games available and playing against each other for best score.

Um...I probably wouldn't have a relationship with my husband if we didn't have a DVR. He would kill me for all the times I want to watch Jon & Kate Plus 8, and I get sick of watching Lethal Weapon 2 over and over again. With DVR, we can watch it when we have time to. Seriously I have Time Warner Cable to thank for keeping my relationship together.
