Washington: (RightNow) A new study reveals that couples experience surprising personality changes after marriage. According to research by Georgia University and California University, these changes play a significant role in marital relationships during the first 2 years.

In the first 18 months after marriage, husbands tend to rely more on their wives, while wives experience reduced anxiety and stress. However, a decrease in compatibility between husbands and wives is also observed.

The study indicates that these changes are seen in couples of all ages and are beneficial for long-term relationships. Researchers consider these changes crucial for a happy marital life.

It is noteworthy that a 2024 study by Binghamton University reported that lack of support from a spouse increases cortisol, a stress hormone, in the body.

Researchers emphasize that spousal support is more important than expected and their behavior in different situations impacts marital life.
