Is there any research into what makes a happy marriage?

There is tons of research.The University of Washington says couples can now take a test which will predict whether or not they are destined for a long and happy marriage. The University's Family Research Laboratory is at: http://depts.washington.edu/famlylab/ American 'self help' writer Laura Doyle who says it's not your husband's fault that he falls so short of your expectations. The person you should be blaming is yourself. www.surrenderedwife.com The University of Utah thinks you can predict the outcome of a marriage with a pre-marital questionnaire. Here's a sample to test with a partner......the more you disagree over, the worse chance of having a happy marriage. 1 Being married is the first or second most important thing in life. 2 Mothers have more natural ability than fathers in relating to infants. 3 Married couples do not need to share many hobbies with each other. 4 Sexual intercourse in marriage is a key to marital satisfaction. 5 Sharing my feelings and concerns about our relationship with family and friends is OK. 6 When I'm upset with my partner I ignore him or her for a while. etc... You could get a lot of information via marriage guidance folk www.relate.org.uk/
