Survey Says...

Does a relationship have a better chance of working if the woman is more attractive than the man? A recent study suggests it does.

In an attempt to determine whether good-looking spouses aremore supportive and happier, a team of psychologists studied 82 newlywed couples.

Their research findings:

- Men who were more attractive than their spouses were less supportive than men who were equally matched or less attractive.
- Men who were more attractive were less happy than others.
- Men and women tended to be more positive and happier when wives were more attractive than their husbands.

The researchers suggest that human evolution might help explain the effect of men's attractiveness on a marriage.

- Attractive men are more likely to attract women, which could make them less satisfied and less committed.
- Attractive women might not mind being better-looking because attractiveness might be less important long-term.

Whatever the reason, makes you think...
