    Newlyweds advised to lower hopes

    幸福美滿婚姻的秘密——期望值不能太高

    The secret of a long and happy marriage appears to be not to expect too much from it.

    US researchers say that, unless you have superior relationship skills, your hopes of cosy coupledom are likely to be dashed.

    Far better, they say, to aim low to ensure you are not disappointed.

    The key to keeping that newlywed glow appears to be forgiveness and communication.

    The study, by researchers from Ohio and Florida Universities looked at 82 couples.

    They quizzed all the spouses independently over four years.

    Their study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, found those who believed their partner would be unfailingly kind, loving and agree with their every word, could retain their positive outlook by being forgiving, and having charitable explanations for their partner's negative behaviour.

    However those with high expectations but without those relationship skills are likely to be brought down to earth fairly quickly as their Prince or Princess Charming falls off their pedestal.

    In contrast, the researchers say holding a more prosaic view of your loved one means you are less likely to be disappointed, and therefore more satisfied with your marriage.

    Writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers led by James McNulty, professor of psychology at Ohio University, said: "In contrast to the idea that expectations in the early years of marriage exert main effects on satisfaction, the current findings suggest that the effects of expectations interact with the skills partners bring to their relationships."

    Previous research found that people tend to select like-minded partners who they believe will be able to maintain a stable relationship.

    The finding contradicts the old adage that opposites attract.

    Instead, the US researchers said people looking for long-term relationships should select partners who were similar to themselves, rather than seeking out the highest quality partner available.

    長久而又幸福婚姻的秘密在于不要期望太多。

    美國的研究人員說,除非你具備處理婚姻關系的高超技巧,否則你對美滿婚姻的憧憬很可能會破滅。

    他們還說,最好降低對婚姻的期望,這樣可以保證你不失望。

    寬恕和交流是保持新婚激情的關鍵。

    來自美國俄亥俄州和佛羅里達州各大學的研究人員對82對夫妻進行了研究。

    研究人員在4年多的時間里對所有的配偶單獨進行研究。

    他們的研究成果發表在《人格和社會心理學》雜志上。他們發現那些相信自己的伴侶會永遠對自己好,永遠愛著自己,同意自己每一句話的人會對婚姻的前景保持積極樂觀的態度,因為他們能夠寬恕并仁慈的解釋伴侶的消極行為。 然而,那些對婚姻期望太高卻又不具備處理婚姻關系技巧的人,一旦他們心中的白馬王子或白雪公主從神圣的光環中跌落,他們可能很快就被迫回到現實中。

    相反,研究人員說,用平常心來看待自己的愛人就意味著你不太會失望,所以也就會對婚姻更加滿意。

    由俄亥俄州立大學心理學教授詹姆斯·邁克納蒂領導的研究者們在《人格和社會心理學》雜志上發表文章說:“以往的研究表明,結婚最初幾年對于婚姻的期望值會對婚姻的滿意程度產生重要影響,與此形成鮮明對照的是,目前的研究表明期望值的影響力與伴侶對其婚姻關系所采用的技巧是相互作用的。”

    上述研究還發現,人們傾向于選擇志趣相投的伴侶,他們相信這樣能夠維持一份穩定的婚姻。

    這一發現與過去所認為的“不同性格相互吸引”的說法截然不同。

    取而代之的是,美國的研究人員說,尋找長期婚姻關系的人們應該選擇與自己性格相近的伴侶而不是尋求最優秀的伴侶。

    cosy: 舒適的
    prosaic: 平凡的
    like-minded: 志趣相投的
    adage: 格言、諺語
