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.

Physical beauty is good but I do not think it is the most important on the list of qualities of a good woman. The most important is the personality of that woman. We do not relate with the physical beauty but with the personality of that person. There are men who have married very beautiful women but they are very miserable in their marriages. One man divorced his very beautiful wife and married a lady who was not beautiful. Men should not just look at the physical appearance but also the inner beauty. Infact, physical beauty can fade over time due to aging and child bearing.
@Chisenga, you are very right brother/sister. I once had a beautiful and attractive girlfriend, but her behaviour was awful and had a miserable time during our relationship. I ended this relationship and God gave me a beautiful and attractive wife.
I had a beautiful and attractive girlfriend , but I was very unhappy because of my girlfriend was not beautiful in terms of her peronality and attitude. So I ended the relationship. Mow I have a very beautiful wife who is as beautiful both inside and out side. So in short, outward beauty is not everything.
Very true guys, physical beauty is not everything (Proverbs 31:30). We should also look beyond that. Again, this does not mean all agree women/men have inner beauty, which should NOT be a consolation for marrying an ugly woman/man. I know of a woman whose husband is very ugly and she consoles herself “twakonkele umutima”, but she is ever uncomfortable with him at functions.
“Prince of Peace” ur very right! For example, Prof. Nkandu Luo is very ugly and her marriage to Dr Manda was very ugly. The late Princess Nakatindi was beautiful and her marriage to Sikota Wina was beautiful. Therefore, it depends on the heart of someone whether physically beautiful or ugly.
The marriage of Late princess Nakatindi Wina and Mr. Sikota was something made in heaven! The princess was beautiful both physically and in her heart. I once did some work at their Mimosa farm through a contracting company and before I left, she told me ati “Mwana wanga, tengako na ndiyo izi upeleke kunyumba” That was about twenty five years ago and still I remember the gesture.
Hey guyz,I love this coz yo comments are all too good,plz enjoy your day guyz.
This study is foolish,just look at this:
“For the four-year study,… Meltzer asked 450 newlywed couples whether…”
What do u expect from newlywed couples? Yes, only beauty matters to them. Wait until they are 5, 6,7… years in mariage, beauty isanguka kwati mafi if u are with a bad person(nality) of a wife.
this is a very damn psychologist
Hey, the key to happy marriage is not beauty but a good attitude and character towards each other. that’s the best way you can know the real heart of you partner. think of it, you get what people appreciate yet its a thorn of your life. thanks for the research but the attitude matters. big up to those ladies who are beautiful inside and outwardly..
Beauty and Happiness are two different things. The only thing that matters to me is that I’m happy, a fair, attractive or not too attractive woman is all good.
Has this researcher heard of the sayin “ugly ones r for marrying n beautiful ones for sharing”? U marry a pretty girl just know there are vultures with big preaks targeting yo wife.
It is good to marry a beutiful wife so that wen a husband looses his job.a woman should be there to make some good cash through prostitution
Only a fool thinks like you.
ata
u pipo are funny.lol
If only they knew what that beauty does behind their backs . Beauty is relative . The article is also misleading . Beauty is not permanent . Si vi panga sense vi ma studies vinango .
@ Denkete unless your beautiful wife has no morals and is a bitch by nature, she’ll entertain other men but if she loves and respects you mwani ni ma luv chabe.
so what are you saying abt Obama..?
Obama’s wife is ugly, kusamba fye!
my view is that sex in a home should be indicator no. 1 for happiness. Beauty is a PR characteristic and does not count for a stable and happy home. Former Minister of Labour Newstead Zimba is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of an UNHAPPY FELLA,despite
having a beautiful wife. Ask Newstaed Zimba if he was ever happy. Infact, his situation was compounded by lack of or conditional enjoyment of conjugal rights.
This is jus too obvious naimwe,who wouldn’t lead a happy life wit a fly wife?jus look @ jay-z and beyonce,bekham and victoria.am suprised u needed a research or study to know dat
