Women grow weary of their marriage more swiftly than men, a major study has found.
Researchers have embarked on a project to follow the lives of 40,000 British households to establish what makes us happy.
Its initial findings show the happiest couples are married, childless and educated to degree level. The man is also in employment and the couple are less than five years into their relationship.

Strikingly, after this point happiness levels tail off, with a steeper decline for women than for men.
Relationship experts believe this is because women do more to maintain the relationship than men by looking after the home and remembering important dates such as relatives’ birthdays. While women do not mind this in the first flush of love, they grow to resent their husbands for not pulling their weight.
The survey also revealed cohabiting couples were significantly less happy in their relationships than those who married.
