Movies and fairytales tend to teach us that once those wedding bells have rung, it’s happily ever after for the couple. However, it turns out that it's not just a fantasy - according to a survey commissioned by Mixbook and carried out by QuestionPro, Some 84 percent of married couples in Kentucky are happily married, ranking the commonwealth fifth overall among states with the happiest married couples in America.
Five Most Happily Married States
West Virginia (90%); 635,636 couples
Minnesota (88%); 1,927,563 couples
Colorado (86%); 1,950,615 couples
Indiana (86%); 2,194,335 couples
Kentucky (84%); 1,426,113 couples
However, two-thirds (66%) of Kentucky couples admitted that marriage doesn’t just ‘flow’, and that they have to work on it to keep it a happy one. A bold 53% favor taking the lead of various celebrities i.e. the semi-separation model, believing that married couples can live separately from each other and still be happy!
Finally, more than a quarter of those who are married compare themselves to other married couples, which is perhaps unrealistic.
