Top 10 Countries for Love Life Satisfaction

Love and relationship satisfaction can vary considerably across cultures, but the latest Ipsos Love Life Satisfaction Index 2026 shows that people in several Asian and Latin American countries report especially positive experiences with love, romance, and relationships.

The index combines responses to three areas: feeling loved, satisfaction with romantic or sex life, and satisfaction with a spouse or partner. Scores are measured out of 100, with the global average standing at 73. The 2026 study surveyed 23,268 adults under 75 across 29 countries between December 24, 2025, and January 9, 2026.

Thailand takes the top position with an impressive score of 86, making it the country with the highest overall love life satisfaction in the survey. Thai respondents were particularly satisfied with their relationships and romantic lives, with 95% reporting satisfaction with their spouse or partner.

Indonesia follows closely in second place with a score of 85, continuing Southeast Asia's strong performance in the global rankings.

Mexico and Spain share third place, both scoring 81. Mexico's strong showing reflects the country's high levels of emotional connection, while Spain is one of only two European countries to appear in the top 10.

Colombia ranks fifth with 80, supported by exceptionally high levels of people saying they feel loved. Ipsos reports that 87% of Colombians feel loved, the highest proportion recorded among the countries surveyed.

Peru comes sixth with 79, followed by Malaysia and the Netherlands, which are tied at 78. Malaysia's position highlights the broader strength of Southeast Asia in the index, while the Netherlands joins Spain as Europe's only representative in the top 10. Chile and South Africa complete the ranking, both scoring 76.

Overall, the results reveal a clear regional pattern. Latin America and Asia dominate the upper end of the 2026 index, suggesting that people in these regions are generally more satisfied with their love lives than respondents in many other parts of the world.

Interestingly, countries often associated with romance, such as France and Italy, do not make the top 10. Ipsos also notes that Japan and South Korea occupy the bottom of the ranking.

The findings offer an intriguing snapshot of how people around the world experience love, showing that relationship satisfaction is shaped by more than romantic stereotypes—it is closely connected to how loved, fulfilled, and satisfied people feel in their everyday relationships.
