For a long time now researchers have been trying to come up with a “recipe” for true love, one that would guarantee that a marriage lasts a lifetime. Despite all their efforts, the conclusion has seemingly been that, no matter how they tried, no one could predict whether a marriage would pass the test of time or not. But wait, researcher said that they hit a breakthrough that reveals exactly the contrary: there is a simple mathematical formula that can accurately predict the chances of survival of a marriage.
Theme of mathematicians researchers have taken 700 newlyweds and, by analyzing their behaviors, have come up with the model that predicts whether a marriage can last or not. The testing consisted in taking each couple of newlyweds and presenting them with topics for discussion, which were likely to lead to an argument, such as money, in-laws and love-life issues. For the next 12 years, scientists monitored all the couples and noted which ones ended in divorce and which not. The conclusion, though, was just one: the mathematical model with which they had come up worked wonderfully in the majority of cases.
Basically, if both partners are what we call validators – that is they are calm in discussions, have shared experiences and have shared attitudes – their marriage is stable. As opposed to newlyweds who were ranked as validators, avoiders and volatiles were unlikely to enjoy a happy marriage until “death do [them] part.” Another surprising result was that marriages can be classified into only five general types, some of which are stable and others not. In fact some couples might as well get divorced right away.
