More Sons, More Happiness
Psychology Today published an article claiming that marriages are much happier when couples have more sons. No offense to son-less fathers with more daughters than they can count, but that’s what research says. The article further explained that if the first child is a son, then the couple has a greater chance of being a harmonious one.
One researcher argued that fathers have a tendency to stick around at home more often if they have a son. We sort of get what they mean. After all, how many dads out there live to teach their kids sports? And when they finally make it big in the NBA/MLB/NFL/NHL, their first words are always, “Thanks, Mom!”
