(Edmonton) Couples about to tie the knot shouldn’t ignore
any nagging doubts about getting married, warns a University of Alberta
researcher.
“If you are having doubts about the relationship, just
ignoring them may make a difference years down the road,” said Matthew Johnson,
assistant professor in the U of A Department of Human Ecology.
The study, published recently in the journal Family Process,
showed that couples who were more confident as they exchanged vows also spent
more time together 18 months into the marriage, and were still happy sharing
life with their spouses at the three-year mark.
