Researchers believe they have discovered a formula for a happy marriage
A recent study conducted by the Geneva School of Business claims to have uncovered the secret to marital bliss. The researchers have come up with a formula which they believe, will increase your chances of having a happy marriage by a fifth.
1,074 couples aged between 19-75 took part in the study. Nguyen Vi Cao who lead the investigation says: “If people follow these guidelines in choosing their partners they can increase their chances of a happy, long marriage by up to 20%”
The main credentials for achieving marital bliss, according to the study, are as follows: the bride must be 5 years younger than the groom, she must also be 27% more intelligent and preferably, hold a degree whereas the groom should not, and both the bride and groom she come from the same cultural background. The same research also found that your chances of finding marital bliss are reduced if you marry a divorcee.
Another study released by the wedding website confetti.co.uk this week has calculated the moment when newlyweds are at their most happiest. They’ve pinpointed the exact time as being 2 year 11 months and 8 days after say “I do” as the point where British married couples are at most content. 4,000 couples were asked to take part in the research which also revealed that couples who are faithful to their spouses spend on average 24 minutes a day having a one-to-one chat and never go to bed on an argument.
