A Happy Childhood Helps Build A Stronger Marriage

We have always heard that being born with a silver spoon in your mouth-while no guarantee- is a huge advantage toward having a successful life.  But what about being born into an emotionally successful family? How does the silver lining of happiness compare to money?  Glad you asked.

A Harvard Medical School researcher study found having a happy childhood really makes the rest of your life run more smoothly!  The Ivy leaguers looking at this

found that men who grew up in caring homes were better at managing stressful emotions as middle-aged adults, which led them to have more successful marriages.

The Daily Mail reports that the researchers conclude the influences of childhood experiences can be demonstrated even when people reach their 80s, predicting how happy and secure they are in their marriages which occurs in part because warmer childhoods promote better emotion management and interpersonal skills at midlife.
