Smiling People Are More Likely To Have Successful Marriage

Wednesday, April 15, 2009



You heard it right, what I said is true and has just been proven through research and tests. A group of psychologists have discovered that people who smile more in their older photos such as a yearbook, are more likely to have successful marriage later on. They conducted a study, and they found out that among the 10% of the greatest smilers (people who really smiled in a yearbook photo) none had a failure in marriage. While, within the bottom 10 % of the smilers, almost 1 in four had a failed marriage. In another study, conducted to support this theory, they asked photos of 65 year old people in their early or younger years. Those who are smiling and happy in their photos, only had 10% of failed marriage, while 31 % of the frowners had broken relationships.
The general conclusion is that people who frowns and wear sad smiles in photos have five times more likelihood of divorce and broken marriages. Hard to believe? This is the truth, and even the psychologists who conducted the test have a puzzle in explaining, though they also have varied possible explanations.
It could be that those who smile more in photos indicate a happier disposition in life, which makes it easy for marriage and family life. Another is that, happy people attracts the same kind of people, so this combination would have a strong likelihood of setting this marriage and partnership up for success.
So in all of these information, we can really say that how we carry outselves today, and our outlook of life, really has a strong impact on what our life will become in the future. Whatever we do today, will have an effect on what will happen to our lives in the future.
