How photos can tell whether a marriage will last

People who want to get married often have this hesitation - they like the other person and want to marry him or her, but they are often uneasy because of questions like "Is he really the right person for me?" and "Can we live like this forever?" Looking at today's society, not to mention celebrities in the entertainment industry, there are many cases of divorce among ordinary people. How can I know whether the person I am looking for is "someone who can maintain my marriage forever" or "someone who will soon cause the marriage to break up"?

According to psychologists, people who often laugh in past photos have the ability to maintain their marriage longer .

Researchers at the University of DePauw in the United States used people's college graduation albums to evaluate the degree of graduates' smiles on a scale of 1-10.

The degree of smile is evaluated by the movement of two parts of facial muscles: one is how much the corners of the mouth are raised, and the other is how many wrinkles appear around the eyes.

After the investigation, the results showed that none of the people in the top 10% with the highest smile intensity were divorced, while almost one in every four people in the bottom 10% with the highest smile intensity were divorced. Another group of people over 65 years old came to the same conclusion by investigating their childhood photos. 11% of people who smile often are divorced, while 31% of people who always frown are divorced.

The two sets of experiments tell us a conclusion: the divorce rate of people who always frown is five times that of people who often smile.

Before the conclusion of the connection between facial expressions and marriage life was drawn, Matthew Hardstein, the leader of the research team, said: "Smiling may be a way for humans to look forward when facing life, or it can be said that people who often smile are people who have the courage to face life. Such people may be able to maintain their marriage life longer, but the detailed reasons are still unclear."

According to Hardstein, he believes that people who laugh often have more friends and can easily get support from people around them, which may be the reason why marriages last longer.

In addition, those who can smile easily and naturally when the photographer says "smile" during a photo shoot have a more straightforward and honest personality. People with this kind of personality can also make the relationship between couples more harmonious.

"The results of this study are consistent with the results of the past 10 years, that is, the character of looking forward has a great impact on a person's life.

At the same time, this kind of personality will also bring many benefits. "This research result is a landmark achievement in predicting a person's marital status through his or her past photos.

"Even events that happened a long time ago may affect a person's current mental state, and therefore can be used as a basis for predicting a person's condition decades in the future. After all, the past, present, and future are related."

Those who are still feeling uneasy and confused about getting married might as well take a look at their partner's past photos.

If the other person is someone who loves to smile in photos, then your marriage will probably last for quite some time.
