Washington, May 20, (PTI):


It may appear a bit strange, but ladies, please note - if your hubby is happier
than you, then divorce is likely, a new study has claimed.




Economists at Deakin University have carried out studies and found that divorce
is more likely if married couples have different happiness levels - especially
if the husband is happier.

For the study, the economists analysed data from three different countries
Australia, Germany and Britain and found that the higher the gap in
happiness, even during the first year of marriage, the higher the risk of
divorce.

Also, in three countries across all couples, women were happier than men. But
men were happier than women during marriage only for those couples whose
marriages ended with divorce, the study found. Lead economist Dr Cahit Guven
said: “We found that the gap in happiness is typically several times higher
for couples in de facto relationships than for those who are married.

Interestingly, the happiness gap decreases after the divorce for the divorced
couples. However, the happiness gap between the divorced spouses after the
divorce is still higher than those couples who stay married.

This shows that they have made a bad choice at the beginning and the
happiness gap stays at some level and does not disappear even though they are
not together anymore.

Dr Guven said: Evidence is also emerging to suggest that people have a
happiness baseline which may flow according to life events, but it rarely stays
below a certain level.
