New Delhi, Nov 05 (ANI): Wives matter more than hubbies in calming down marital conflicts. A new study has found that, when it comes to keeping the peace, it's more important for wives than for their husbands to keep their cool after a heated argument. The study's findings revealed while both spouses were equally able to cool down during conflicts, the husbands' emotional regulation had little or no bearing on long-term marital satisfaction. Results show that the link between the wives' ability to control emotions and higher marital satisfaction was most evident when women used "constructive communication" to temper disagreements. The study has been published online in the journal Emotion.
