Why the secret to a happy marriage is NOT having a similar personality to your partner
But the researchers, who interviewed older couples, found men and women may not need to be that similar to have a successful marriage. Mystery: No one knows why a marriage lasts, but we can guess The study, which included couples who had been married for at least 40 years, found neither personality similarities nor differences appeared to affect how happy the couples were. The findings suggest the personality matching carried out by dating agencies and websites may make little difference in success. But Coolidge suspects that, in the end, the need to bond with someone may overcome any clash in personality. Coolidge said: 'One of my very speculative suspicions is that this need for a relationship is so strong that it overcomes differences.' He presented the results at the American Psychological Association's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. The work has not been published in a scientific journal. The couples were put in separate rooms to fill in the questionnaires and not allowed to see each other's answers. 'We didn’t want to create any divorces,' Coolidge said. Both men and women reported being happy but, on average, the women were happier.
