Science Reveals The Happiest And Hardest Years Of Marriage
Being in a relationship is hard, let alone being married. For a marriage to last, both partners need to make an effort. Usually, the first years are sweet, romantic, and lovely, but, at a certain point, it gets harder than expected. Now, science reveals what the happiest and hardest years of marriage are. Are you ready to find out?
A study released by Slater and Gordon Lawyers has found out which years of a marriage are the happiest and which are the hardest. This can help young couples sort out things and work toward lasting a lifetime. If that doesn’t scare you, that is.
The happiest year is the 3rd one
Although some couples think that love will fade and arguments will start at this point, that’s not true. According to the study, the 3rd year of a marriage is when couples accept each other’s flaws. This means getting more comfortable and deciding to start a family.
The hardest years are the 5th and the 7th
The same study suggests that the 5th and the 7th years of marriage will be the hardest. Sometimes, divorce will be inevitable. At this point, the children are very young and require constant attention. Work-life balance becomes impossible. The specialists of the study named the 7th year as “the wall” due to the routine family-life and the problems like financial issues, childcare, and household-related issues.
