Men with good-looking wives lead happy married life

A new study has found that an attractive wife can make a man's marital life quite satisfactory as compared to an unattractive wife.

For the four-year study, psychologist Andrea Meltzer asked 450 newlywed couples whether a good-looking spouse leads to a more satisfying union, the Huffington Post reported.

The findings showed that wives' attractiveness on husbands' satisfaction was significantly stronger than husbands' attractiveness on wives' satisfaction.

According to the report, spousal attractiveness played a larger role in predicting husbands' marital satisfaction than it did in predicting wives' marital satisfaction.

However, good-looking wives also reported higher levels of satisfaction, as their happiness depended on their hubby's happiness.

The study is published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
