Follow on Google News | Need Marriage Guidance? Want to Save Your Marriage? Move to France!Our depressed economy is making American couples unhappier than they’ve been in decades, according to a new poll published by ING Direct USA.
By: Jeff Ullman It’s clear from the study that if American couples want stronger and happier marriages, they need more marriage guidance. In fact, American couples need more relationship help than couples in other countries, especially if they are to save their marriage from national and local economic stressors. “This study reinforces what marriage educators already know, according to Jeff Ullman, Co-Chief Happiness Partner of HappierCouples.com, an online relationship coaching and concierge website. “If couples want any real chance at living happier ever after, they damn well better educate themselves about their greatest asset: their relationship!” The Ullmans should know a few things about relationships, because they helped more people meet and marry than anyone in the 20th Century, through the company that Jeff created, Great Expectations. “It’ According to the ING study, Americans polled believed they will have to work an additional 10 years before they’re able to retire. This pessimism outlook was not reflected in the comments of Europeans who were also polled. Dr. Robert Epstein, former Editor-In-Chief of Psychology Today and creator of The Love Contract, has seen an increasing level of conflict, stress, pressure and divorce as a result of economic pressures. “It’s not just the economy that’s causing so much unhappiness for couples; it’s mostly the sad fact that couples don’t do what’s necessary to keep their relationship as good as they expect it to be. They want the fairy tale to be true without putting in the work. Everyone could benefit by improving their relationship skills, regardless of how long they’ve been married or how happy they think they are.” The online survey of 1,052 adults conducted in Canada, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia also showed Americans are worried about credit card debt. “That’s yet another reason U.S. couples need a couples checkup of their relationship. A happy, successful relationship should NOT have to depend on your credit rating.” # # # HappierCouples.com, a website founded by Co-Chief Happiness Partners, Jeff and Cindy Ullman, was created to help all couples find the relationship building tools they need to not just survive, but thrive. The site, to launch Thanksgiving Day 2009, guarantees a couple’s happiness, and contains hundreds of marriage and relationship expert video testimonials, in addition to a “cyber concierge” where couples can easily find fun things to do for their regular date nights or special romantic weekend getaways.” End
