Recent research highlights a concerning trend in marital satisfaction, showing that after an initial period of increased happiness leading up to marriage, individuals may experience ongoing dissatisfaction. Conducted by Hannah E. Dupuis and colleagues and published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the study analyzed 14 years of survey data from 1,520 participants, revealing that the decline in satisfaction post-marriage does not plateau but rather continues over time, suggesting that the prospects for long-term relational well-being may be less optimistic than previously thought.
A recent study indicates that satisfaction with life for married individuals may continuously decline after marriage, contradicting earlier studies that suggested a plateau.
Despite initial happiness leading up to the wedding, a consistent decrease in life satisfaction occurs post-marriage, suggesting a troubling long-term trend.
