Want to predict if you will stay married? Take out your high school yearbook. If you are smiling, you are more likely to have a long marriage. I did not make this up! A research study at DePauw University scored high school yearbook pictures based on a "smile intensity score". They found the top 10% of smilers had a 5% divorce rate, and the bottom 10% smilers (the non-smilers) had a 25% divorce rate. Their explanation? People with positive emotionality may attract happier people or interpret events more positively.And keep smiling!

You are most welcome, Kimberly. Keep smiling!
That's interesting to know, Jewel... I will keep smiling then! :)
But that's no hardship, Evonne. You are ALWAYS smiling!
Might have something do to with their overall happiness leading to their marriage difficulties? Just a thought...
Beach Weddings - who can say? Cause and effect are often ambiguous. But hey, it's so much easier to go through life smiling than frowning.
