Happy Marriages
The research shows only about 17% of marriages are happy which is a significant drop from what it was in 1960. Jenna McCarthy did some research to find out what that 17 % of couples have in common.
1) The happiest couples do not point out the failures of their mate.
2) Men are willing to do housework however, another study published shows when men do the typical women household chores this can make the men seem less attractive to the wife.
3) Tell each other “I love you 5 times a week”
4) Kiss 6 times a day. Marriage researcher John Gottman recommends the 6-second kiss every day
5) Dr. Paul Zak suggests hugging 8 times a day.
6) Watching romantic comedies cause dissatisfaction in the marriage.
7) The happiest marriages are when the wife weighs 25 lbs less than her husband.
8) Research published in “Social Psychological and Personal Science” shows the happiest marriages have sex with each other once a week.
9) Research shows for every $5,000 that a wife out-earns her husband, the chance of you divorcing increases by 5%.
10) Dr. Jordan Peterson said that “the happiest marriages spend about 90 minutes a week talking about their problems and other important family issues.”
