The secret to a happy marriage and a lasting couple? Sharing a drink from time to time between lovers, depending on the results of a study published in the medical journal The Journal of Gerontology.This activity would make couples more complicit and more united. But always when alcohol is consumed in moderation.
Complicity makes marriage last
Researchers at the University of Michigan (United States) questioned 4,864 married people to understand the reasons why their couple lasted for a long time. The respondents had been together 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 couples who do not drink are not unhappy. It is rather the idea of sharing an activity, having common points that makes the couple more united and complicit.
“Women who reported drinking alcohol felt more fulfilled over time when their husbands drank with them,” says Dr. Fred Souffler of the University of Michigan, author of the study.
Alcohol yes but always in moderation
If sharing a few drinks would promote happiness in the couple, alcohol abuse is bad for your health and a nuisance for the couple. Indeed, thealcoholism favors the destruction of marriage.
