Eureka. Apparently scientific study has confirmed something that seems relatively obvious to me: the secret to happy marriage is for husbands to listen to their wives.
This article, discussing a study published in The Journal of Marriage and the Family, explains that the study revealed that "successful marriages have far more to do with husbands yielding to the influences of their wives" than the sorts of active listening techniques that marriage counselors normally advocate. (You know the type: "Yes, sweetie, I understand. You're unhappy that I didn't pick up my dirty socks before bed. Can we discuss this and talk it through?")
What's your secret to happy marriage?
