“Concordant drinking couples reported decreased negative marital quality over time, and these links were significantly greater among wives. Wives who reported drinking alcohol reported decreased negative marital quality over time when husbands also reported drinking and increased negative marital quality over time when husbands reported not drinking.”So, wives are not happy within their marriage if they are drinking while hubby is not, and couples who go on and off the booze at different times report decreased marital quality too. In a nutshell, spouses are happiest when they are doing the same thing at the same time, and doing it together. This study is another indication that we should all be pairing up with someone who shares the same lifestyle and interests as us, but we already knew that, right? Cheers everyone!
