Psychological research from UC Berkeley shows a U-shaped trajectory for many long-term marriages. During the earlier years, couples are high on passion. This can then deteriorate into power struggles, “bickering and criticisms.”
Those who weather such storms may later begin lightening up. As couples rise from U-curve depths, humor and playfulness can help see them through. Although the fire of passion weakens, the embers of companionship glow brightly. In the long run, they finish strong.
