For many years, psychologists of various specializations have been trying to find the formula for a happy family life. And, apparently, it finally happened. Scientists argue that wife’s satisfaction is the key to peace and harmony in the family. The study involved 400 married couples (one of the spouses should have been at least 60 years old, the average duration of marriage is 39 years).
The experiment evaluated the quality of marriage, the specifics of the relationship of the spouses. The subjects were asked about the relationship of one spouse to another, whether they understand and appreciate the feelings of each other.
It was found that couples, as a rule, were satisfied with life. Associated with this was the duration of the marriage. Men felt most good if their spouses were positive about marriage. In short, the happiness of a husband depends on the happiness of his wife.
It is curious that women were very upset by the illness of their spouses, while this was not observed in their husbands. The fact is that when wives are caring for their husbands, they are very stressed. Men, as a rule, distance themselves from courtship for unwell spouses, it is to lie on the shoulders of daughters.
