THE key to domestic bliss is four meals together a week, more than one tablet and a Netflix account, according to a study.

Families living in the West Midlands spend 12 hours together each week, matching the national average, the survey of 2,000 people by gaming company, Origin, found.

A family diary, everyone having their own chores and discussing plans as a couple are among the top ways that families in the area keep their homes running smoothly.

A bigger kitchen was top of the wish list for home improvements among homeowners in the region.

Monthly trips to the cinema, a good coffee machine for mum and dad and at least three televisions were also deemed necessities for a harmonious family life.

The research also found that having fast Wi-Fi, a ‘treat cupboard’ and putting the kids’ artwork on the walls or fridge were also cited as factors that lead to a happy home.
