Shared interests, a sense of humour and a healthy sex life may all go a long way to creating a satisfying marriage.
擁有共同的興趣愛好、富有幽默感和健康的夫妻生活對創(chuàng)造美滿婚姻均大有裨益。
‘Although it has been known that women prefer tall men in mating for evolutionary reasons, no study has investigated whether a taller husband makes his wife happier,’ said researcher Kitae Sohn, from Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea.
“盡管眾所周知出于進化的原因，女性更喜歡高個子男性，目前尚無調查研究高個子丈夫是否可以讓其妻更幸福，”韓國首爾建國大學研究員孫基泰如是說。
A greater height difference in a couple was positively related to the wife’s happiness. He added that the relationship between height and happiness ‘gradually weakened over time and entirely dissipated by 18 years of marital duration’.
夫婦身高差與妻子幸福感正相關。他補充說，身高和幸福感的關系會隨時間推移而弱化，直到婚姻進入18個年頭后完全消解。
Dr Sohn, who analysed data from 7,850 women collected from a long-term population survey, said there could be many reasons why a taller man was linked to a happier wife.
孫基泰從一項歷時較長的人口調查中收集了7850名女性的數(shù)據(jù)，稱男性個子偏高與妻子更為幸福相關聯(lián)，其后有諸多原因。
One is the intrinsic value of height; that is, women simply like tall men, while unable to say why.
原因之一是身高的內在價值，即女性就是莫名喜歡高個子男性。
This is similar to people favouring fatty, salty, and sugary foods without knowing exactly why: such foods are essential to survival but were scarce as humans evolved - hence craving for such foods increased reproductive fitness in the past.
這個和人們說不清為何喜歡高脂、偏咸或偏甜的食物一樣，即這些食物對于人類生存至關重要，但隨著人類進化，這些食物數(shù)量稀少，因而在過去對這些食物有渴求能增加生育能力。
