Two Studies on Marriage and Romance - and Researchers with Too Much Time on Their Hands

ShareThis

Two new studies out make me think researchers have a lot of extra time on their hands. The first, from the University of Michigan, says that if you want romance on a date, go to a movie — but choose the move carefully. One is, “surprisingly,”? a lot more likely to feel romantic after seeing a “chick flick”? like “The Bridges of Madison County”? than if you see “Godfather II.”? Gee, do ya think? Link below.

Then a “landmark”? from the University of Virginia reveals that married women are happiest in marriages that include “mutual commitment, fair division of chores, plus emotional and financial support”?

Um. . . Duh. Link below.
