Shared interests, a sense of humour and a healthy sex life may all go a long way to creating a satisfying marriage.拥有共同的兴趣爱好、富有幽默感和健康的夫妻生活对创造美满婚姻均大有裨益。
‘Although it has been known that women prefer tall men in mating for evolutionary reasons, no study has investigated whether a taller husband makes his wife happier,’ said researcher Kitae Sohn, from Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea.“尽管众所周知出于进化的原因，女性更喜欢高个子男性，目前尚无调查研究高个子丈夫是否可以让其妻更幸福，”韩国首尔建国大学研究员孙基泰如是说。
A greater height difference in a couple was positively related to the wife’s happiness. He added that the relationship between height and happiness ‘gradually weakened over time and entirely dissipated by 18 years of marital duration’.夫妇身高差与妻子幸福感正相关。他补充说，身高和幸福感的关系会随时间推移而弱化，直到婚姻进入18个年头后完全消解。
Dr Sohn, who analysed data from 7,850 women collected from a long-term population survey, said there could be many reasons why a taller man was linked to a happier wife.孙基泰从一项历时较长的人口调查中收集了7850名女性的数据，称男性个子偏高与妻子更为幸福相关联，其后有诸多原因。
One is the intrinsic value of height; that is, women simply like tall men, while unable to say why.原因之一是身高的内在价值，即女性就是莫名喜欢高个子男性。
This is similar to people favouring fatty, salty, and sugary foods without knowing exactly why: such foods are essential to survival but were scarce as humans evolved - hence craving for such foods increased reproductive fitness in the past.这个和人们说不清为何喜欢高脂、偏咸或偏甜的食物一样，即这些食物对于人类生存至关重要，但随着人类进化，这些食物数量稀少，因而在过去对这些食物有渴求能增加生育能力。
