Successful marriage life is very important for the starting point of building and nourishing your family. According to the researchers, they suggested that the secret key to have a perfect and happy marriage life is to find your opposite.

If you are an introvert and your partner is an extrovert, both of you are most likely to enjoy a happy marriage life because this some of the greatest long-term satisfaction from being wed. Women who are committed to their marriage life even if the honeymoon is over, they are the most who can gain benefits. But be careful of a neurotic type partner because they are the most who are not satisfied with what they have.

“The attainment of a satisfying relationship is a near universal goal.

“We found that conscientious women experience greater life satisfaction following marriage than less conscientious women.

“Our data also indicate that introverted women and extroverted men experience longer-term life satisfaction benefits following marriage.”

– said by Dr. Christopher Boyce of Stirling University

They had made 8 years of study composes of 2,000 single adults and 17 to 88-years-old participants equally divided according to the sexes. As they go further to their research, they had found out that most who stayed together are the quarter married for the first time.

They asked the participant with the questions concerning to this study to determine if they were a Conscientious, Extrovert, Neurotic, Agreeable and Open. They were asked to rate their satisfaction from zero to 10 as this happens each year.

Until they come up with the result that there are three out of five personality traits had their own significant influences. And this concludes that “Neuroticism has a strong negative relationship with life satisfaction.

“While all men experience an increase in their life satisfaction, men that are extroverted seem to experience longer-term benefits to their life satisfaction during a marriage.

“Introverted men, however, experience significant drops in their life satisfaction that result in them being lower in life satisfaction than those who never marry.” -according to the researchers.

The Journal Personality and Individual Differences gives approval that there was a honeymoon period for all women. But mostly, an extrovert woman suffered the most because of a greater “reduction in life satisfaction.”

“Women who reported being conscientious experienced sustained increases in their life satisfaction following marriage, whereas those less conscientious experienced small transitory life satisfaction increases.

“Such a result might be explained by the tendency for conscientious individuals to place more value on relationship goals and therefore, conscientious individuals may strive harder to ensure success.

“This conscientiousness effect, however, was not found in men.” -said Dr. Boyce. “We did not look at the aspect of complimentary personalities [opposites attracting], but that is something I would recommend future researchers need to look at.”

Therefore, looking for a partner with the opposite traits seems to be effective to have a perfect and happy marriage life.
