Researchers at the University of Rochester want to survey 800 newlyweds in
the US and Canada in the hopes of finding out why some new marriages are so full
of bliss and others are so full of battles.
Couples taking part in the study must be married for six months or less and
have to submit to a 20-minute phone interview.
Couples then take an online survey and complete another online survey each
year for three more years.
The study has gathered about 200 couples so far and is looking to quadruple
that number through ads in newspaper classified sections all over the country.
One U of R researcher tells the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle that getting
along in a new marriage basically boils down to what we learned in kindergarten:
be nice to each other.
