As part of Pandora\u2019s journey to explore what love means in today\u2019s world, the jewellery brand is unveiling the positive impact the events of 2020 have had on love and relationships around the world, affecting how we talk, care and connect with our loved ones. A global survey from 11 countries found 2020 has had a positive impact on different types of relationships in people\u2019s lives, and 70% believe relationships are more important than ever before. Over half of this group (52%) said that connections with people were a source of joy during turbulent times, which was even more of a reason to nurture these relationships to ensure they withstand the difficult year. 64% say they talk more with their loved ones than before the pandemic and emphasis is being placed on showing people they are loved. Little acts of love and friendship have also increased since the start of the pandemic, including giving more gifts (61%), helping around the house (44%), and complimenting loved ones (37%).<\/p>\n<p>Surveying 11,000 respondents, Pandora\u2019s study found that in all types of relationship \u2013 romantic, friendship and family \u2013 people\u2019s moral compass is a key factor for compatibility and even attraction. 74% of people surveyed reveal a person\u2019s values are their most attractive quality, even over looks, body and mind. As a more socially aware society, 7 in 10 people believe our moral principles have evolved in the past year and 59% agree relationships are now more focused on shared values than in previous years. Respondents showed that shared family values (60%) and equality for everyone (50%) are the most important values that people look for in a romantic partner. Four in five people believe shared morals make any type of relationship stronger and 73% think it\u2019s important those around them actively voice their values.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, despite the often-perceived differences between the generations there are clear similarities between Gen Z\u2019ers, Millennials and Baby Boomers when it comes to their value priorities, with family and equality topping thelist for all. Vita Clausen, Global PR &amp; Influencer Director atPandora, explains: \u201cWe can see that 2020 has clearly had an impact on our relationships, and he way we appreciate love, with small interactions and little acts of love more important than ever. People are prioritizing relationships and making more of an effort with their loved ones, with 62% remembering special occasions to show that they care. So, we believe that Valentine\u2019s Day will become even more special this year. As part of our mission to empower people to voice the things they love and express who they are, we encourage everyone to share their stories of love and what little acts of love means to them, this Valentine\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate real love stories, Pandora has created the \u201cAn Exploration of Love\u201d film series which sees a group of people share their experiences of love, friendship and how they express themselves through little acts of love and affection for each other. Pandora is inviting people around the world to join in and share their love story on Instagram under #VoicesofPandora.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/the-year-that-changed-love-forever-celebrating-little-acts-of-love-with-pandora\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the run-up to Valentine\u2019s Day, Pandora reveals how 2020 has impacted relationships and human connection around the world, with shared values and little acts of love more important than ever before 70% of people believe that relationships are more important since the pandemic 66% feel inspired to make more of an effort with the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":178849,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9021,1],"tags":[3257],"class_list":{"0":"post-178848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mypr","8":"category-south-africa","9":"tag-mypr","10":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/the-year-that-changed-love-forever-celebrating-little-acts-of-love-with-pandora.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
