Telegraph said that economic doctoral Cahit Guven of Deakin University, Australia and colleagues analyzed previous studies on the level of satisfaction in the family and economic life of several tens of thousands of families in England and Germany. and Australia.

The expert team discovered a scary phenomenon in marriage that they called "happy gaps", whereby the larger the gap, the higher the risk of breaking up. However, this phenomenon only appears when the husband is happier than his wife. In families where the husband's satisfaction level is higher, their partner is usually the one who actively writes a divorce application. Conversely, if the man is less happy, the risk of marriage breakdown will decrease.

The results also show this gap in couples who are married without marriage more than legal couples.

The happiness gap increases in the following cases: the wife must take on most of the housework, the wife's education and social knowledge are higher than the husband and wife having higher income than the average of the society. In contrast, the gap is narrow if the couple is similar in terms of education and social knowledge, the couple pursues a religion, the husband participates in housework, the wife is a professional housewife or student. , retired wife.

'Previous studies have shown that couples with the same educational level, age, homeland, ethnicity, religion and social knowledge have a more sustainable family life than others. For example, in Australia, 53% of women with the highest levels of happiness marry men with similarities. This number is 61% in the UK and 70% in Germany, ' said Dr. Guven.
