First Year of Marriage the Hardest
December 5, 2012 According to a new study in Australia, the first year of marriage is the most difficult for new couples to get through. The study by Deakin University’s 'Australian Centre on Quality of Life' measured the happiness of 2000 people and found couples in their first year of marriage rated it very low at 73%, while couples married for more than 40 years rated their happiness at almost 80%, the happiest of all married couples.
