The popular idiom “happy wife, happy life” is a deep-rooted truth for successful marriages and careers for men, suggests a study. According to the head researcher of The Gottman Institute in the United States, husbands who obey their wives are more likely to form successful marriages and become the most successful individuals in their respective work fields.
After spending years studying the traits of happy and unbroken marriages, Dr John Gottman revealed a truth that should come in really handy for newlywed men: keep your wife happy! In his latest research, Gottman suggested that men should listen to their wives and let them play an active role and a helpful guiding light in their professional careers.

It is both a mindset and a skill cultivated by paying attention to your partner every day and supporting them,” suggested the doctor and relationship expert in a blog.
