How Much You Smile Could Predict Your Divorce Potential
In a 2009 study from DePauw University, researchers found that how much you smiled as a child and young adult could accurately predict your divorce potential. Check it out.
I find that fascinating because I believe emotional expressions are windows to our soul, and who we are as people. I also believe we are hard-wired to feel certain emotions. I suspect that our facial structure actually predisposes us to feel certain emotions more than others. The reason I say that is people who have what I call a very happy face structure (high check bones, broad smiles, and round faces) are typically happy people. Ask people with these faces next time, and they can’t help but smile! And people with heavy brows often stress and frown more. It’s just the way it is.
People who have droopy outer corners of their eyes will have more of a tendency to feel sadness.
So I absolutely believe people who frown more and smile less are much more likely to have a marriage end in divorce. Do you?
It certainly would be easier to live with happy smiling people than with unhappy frowning people. This could be a big consideration when a person decides to marry. If a person is difficult during courtship, they will be more difficult after marriage. Of course, we never really know all about a person until we marry them. I have wondered if being unhappy in life changes our faces over a period of time. I have heard that people who are married began to look more alike after years of being married.
I noticed the change in one cousins face (and personality). I did not recognise him after seeing him a number of years later.
Was the change in your cousin’s face an improvement? I hope so.
No, he went bad. He was a great cousin but he might have got involved with the wrong people. He spent some time in jail. When he was younger I remember him as funny, happy, a real nice person.
That’s sad.
I think he’s improving, the last time I saw him 🙂 Didn’t notice in facial changes though.
I am glad he is improving.
Yes, it was something I learnt from.
Well I wouldn’t have predicted it but I’m willing to accept it. Fascinating.
