Wife's Education Improves Marriage

A new study from the Australian National University (ANU) says that the more education that a wife has, the happier the husband and happier the marriage. Shane Worner conducted the study and found that "for every extra year of education that a spouse has, a male is more likely to report a high... life satisfaction level, but for females, once we account for marriage we don't seem to see any effect of spousal education," he said. If you were to slap a dollar figure on the happiness of a highly educated married couple, Worner suggests a single person would have to earn an extra $100,000. I guess if you're highly educated, it would be tough to catch up to that dollar amount.
