关于幸福：什么让我们真正幸福？

在2011年一项有点奇怪的研究里，田纳西的研究人员发现妻子比丈夫苗条时，婚姻更幸福。研究人员调查了170对新婚夫妇的身体质量指数后得出了这个结论。

We don't recommend comparing yourself to your man, but we love the idea of staying fit as a couple-not just for the obvious health benefits, but also for the bonding experiences.

我们并不主张让夫妻俩盲目比较体重，但我们认为夫妻双方保持健康苗条的身材不仅有利于健康，也有益于婚姻关系。

4. Reason to put a ring on it?

结婚的人更幸福

Despite the divorce rate, there may be something to the phrase 'wedded bliss.' A recent study posed the question, are married people happier than their single counterparts? Essentially, yes. Researchers in Michigan found that un-married people showed a decline in happiness as time went on whereas those that had tied the knot, did not.

5. Age isn't just a number

年龄不仅仅是一个数字

A U.K. based website found that 70-percent of people over 40 surveyed said they were happiest at that age and felt that was when they were able to attain 'true' happiness.
