În această discuţie amuzantă de la TEDx, scriitoarea Jenna McCarthy ne împărtăşeşte studii surprinzătoare despre cum mariajele (în special cele fericite) chiar funcţionează.  Un pont: nu încerca să câştigi un Oscar pentru cea mai bună actriţă.

Happily ever after is less about grand gestures and more about everyday habits, research suggests. From the odd statistic that half of US marriages end within a decade, to the curious 'Oscar curse' that predicts divorce after a big win, the path to lasting partnership is far from fairy-tale perfect. Couples who celebrate each other's quirks, divide chores, and focus on what works tend to go the distance. Science finds that smiling in childhood photos or praising a spouse’s efforts can have surprising long-term effects.
