The secret to a happy marriage and a lasting couple? Share a drink from time to time between lovers, depending on the results of a study published in The Journal of GerontologyThis activity would make the couples more complicit and more united. But always when alcohol is consumed in moderation.
Complicity makes the marriage last
Researchers at the University of Michigan (United States) questioned 4,864 married people to understand the reasons why their relationship lasted for a long time. The people questioned had been united for 33 years and for more than a third of the couples, they had married only once.
The findings of this study showed that couples who drink together are happier.
This study also teaches us that if only the man consumes alcohol, the couple deteriorates more quickly and that the couples who do not drink are not unhappy. It is rather the idea of sharing an activity, having points in common that makes the couple more united and complicit.
“Women who have reported drinking alcohol feel more fulfilled over the years when their husbands drink with them,” said Dr. Fred Souffler of the University of Michigan, author of the study.
