第三部分:Catch the Star That Holds Your Destiny抓住生命里的那颗星02(第6页)
41.“最近的研究暗示,人们在结婚后变得不再忧郁,孤独感也逐渐减少,”芝加哥大学的社会学教授、《结婚问题》的作者琳达·怀特如是说。
42.毕竟,当你拥有一位每天晚上都回家的甜蜜爱人时,很难会感到孤独的。
43.根据怀特的研究,男性从一生的伴侣中受益的程度要远胜于女性。“女性会向所有的人倾诉,”怀特说,“但是大多数男性喜欢向妻子倾诉,把妻子当做主要的知己。”
44.另外,女性——典型的社交关系设计者——会保证男性与家庭和朋友之间密切相联,而这两者是快乐的另一源泉。
45.那么主妇们名声赫赫的唠叨意味着什么呢?总结一句是付出总有回报。已婚男士比起单身贵族喝酒、抽烟都减少了,吃得更好了,睡眠更充分了,做冒险的事也少了。最终的结果是:已婚男士更加健康,而健康与快乐息息相关,于是他们更加快乐了。

1.一天早上,一个小男孩蹲在花园的草地上,久久不动。
2.母亲觉得蹊跷,便凑上前看个究竟。只见男孩非常认真地蹲在一茎草叶面前。草叶上,一颗圆圆的露珠,在太阳的照射下,正幻出七彩的光芒,格外美丽。小男孩一边欣赏着这滴露珠,一边把双手摊开,静候在草叶下。
3.看到妈妈走过来,男孩略带忧伤的说:“妈妈,露珠快要死了。”
4.母亲微笑着对儿子说:“你就是把双手放在草叶下面,还是阻止不了露珠在这个世界上消失的命运啊。”
5.男孩说:“妈妈,我只是想,它落下来时,别摔疼了它。”
