Wife’s happiness is more crucial than husband’s for a happy marriage, study says

About 40% to 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce. In Brazil, the IBGE reports that one in three marriages end in separation. We may think that something like this won’t happen in our relationship, but it’s not enough to just believe in that idea. It’s always better to work to improve the coexistence of two and never give up on love.

we, from awesome.club, We believe in happy marriages that can last forever and we discovered a study that can help prevent arguments and misunderstandings.

The more satisfied the wife is in a long-term union, the happier the husband will be in that relationship, according to a study published by Journal of Marriage and Family, carried out by researchers at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, USA. The trick involves the psychology of the woman. “They tend to dedicate themselves more to their partner if the marriage is successful and if this has a positive effect on their husband’s life”, says one of the authors of the study, Deborah Carr.

The survey evaluated a total of 394 couples who, on average, had been married for 39 years. To understand marital quality, the people involved in the study were asked several questions. They were also asked to keep diaries detailing how happy they felt in the previous 24 hours for having performed activities not directly related to the relationship, such as shopping, household chores and watching television.

The results were interesting: in general, participants rated their marital life satisfaction as high: giving it 5 out of 6 points. And what is most surprising is that husbands’ ratings of marriage were more positive than wives’! A happy woman simply makes a man even happier!

And there is one more interesting discovery! The study also found that wives become sadder if their spouses get sick. It’s just that the happiness level of husbands doesn’t change when their wives get sick. The explanation is simple.

The woman, in general, takes care of the man if he feels bad.🇧🇷 And that can be very stressful for them wives. In case the woman gets sick, she ends up depending on the help of her daughter or parents. Therefore, the husband ends up not going through the same stress.

The Department Head and Professor of Behavioral Sciences in Psychological and Behavioral Science at London School of Economics and Political SciencePaul Dolan, also states in his book Happy Ever After: Escaping The Myth of the Perfect Life (in free translation, “Happily Ever After: Escaping the Myths of the Perfect Life”)🇧🇷 that men benefit more from marriage than women. Under the stress of marriage, women live shorter lives. Married men live longer.

This proves that couples could really improve their relationship if they both considered each other’s needs during difficult times. That is, partners need to show affection and love towards each other to live happily together.

The study’s conclusion may not seem surprising to some, but there is now official confirmation. A husband’s level of happiness doesn’t have as much of an impact on the quality of a marriage. An unhappy wife, on the other hand, can be extremely destructive to life together.

The research leads to a rather simple practical conclusion: when the wife is happy, the couple’s life is likely to be happy too. If you want your marriage to be successful, make your wife smile.

If you are unhappy with the relationship, talk to your partner and work together for a change for the better.
