Why row about little things that prolongs your marriage?
IF you find yourself getting more and more irritated with your beloved, then common sense would suggest that it’s best to hold your tongue. But in this case, at least, it appears common sense might be wrong. Because according to researchers, it’s much better for your marriage to speak up rather than let your problems fester. Dr. Harnnah Fry, a mathematician at University College, London, reviewed scientific studies about relationships for her book; The Mathematics of Love. She claims that maths can help find answers to common love-life dilemmas. For example, according to her research, women who tend to approach men are more likely to get a husband or boyfriend who they get on with —compared to those who simply sit and wait to get asked out.
