Marital Satisfaction

Satisfaction in marriage is hard to come by if the little things aren't being attended to. Here are some interesting statistics that will give you some insight into marital satisfaction, from a more scientific perspective.

Marriage does more to promote life satisfaction than money, sex, or even children, say Wake Forest University psychologists.1

  • Eighty-one percent of happily married couples said their partner’s friends and family rarely interfered with the relationship, compared to just 38% of unhappy couples.1

  • More than friendship, laughter, forgiveness, compatibility, and sex, spouses name trust as the element crucial for a happy marriage.1

  • Married elderly people are more likely to maintain daily health-promoting habits, such as exercising, not smoking, eating breakfast, and having regular medical check-ups.1

  • Compared to singles, married people accumulate about four times more savings and assets. Those who divorced had assets 77% lower than singles.1

  • Women who report a fair division of housework were happier in their marriages than women who thought their husbands didn’t do their fair share. Wives also spent more quality time with their husbands when they thought the housework was divided fairly.2

  • A 15-year-long study found that a person’s happiness level before marriage was the best predictor of happiness after marriage. In other words, marriage won’t automatically make one happy.2

  • Birth order can influence whether a marriage succeeds or fails. The most successful marriages are those where the oldest sister of brothers marries the youngest brother of sisters. Two firstborns, however, tend to be more aggressive and can create higher levels of tension. The highest divorce rates are when an only child marries another only child. 3
