The Daily Signal ^ | August 18, 2015 | Natalie Johnson

Republicans are happier and more stable in their marriages than Democrats, according to a study released Monday.

W. Bradford Wilcox, a prominent sociologist at the University of Virginia, released the analysis finding that Republicans are more often married, less likely to be divorced, and happier in their marriages than Democrats.

KEYWORDS: happiness; marriage
Conservatives, as they are called, or people with values are more happy in their marriages and in their lives.

Liberals are almost always miserable. And they make the people around them miserable.

Democrats were happier until Ashley Madison got busted.

This Republican would say YES! Mrs. teletech and I just passed our 48th wedding anniversary in April and I love her more than life itself. She gives me a grin and tells me "shes stuck with me".

Conservative Republicans are just happier people, so that makes happy marriages more likely.

Libtards don’t even bother getting “married”, unless they’re homos.

Agreed.

Conservatives would like to bring everyone UP to the highest level possible. Sure, some people will excel, and some people will not get as far, but they'll all have hit their peaks.

Meanwhile, Liberals would like to bring everyone DOWN to the lowest common denominator. Everyone is "special". No one is excellent.

Two sentences. That's the difference between Conservatives and Liberals. And, that's why Conservatives are happier......they WANT to be, and they want their spouse to be, as well.

Conservatives are happy people in general.

Liberals are unhappy,
because conservatives are happy.

Good for you!

Mrs WBill has me on a 50-year lease. I hope that she picks up my option, 30-odd years from now. :-)

When she turned 40, I (jokingly) mentioned trading her in for two 20's. Her response? "Great. I can use some extra help with the housework."

Game, Set, and Match to my lovely wife.

We Republican men actually like and respect women and women seem to respond. Imagine that!

Duh. Who woulda thunk it?

Dems are anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-God, anti-Christian - not unlike the Marxists of old who they emulate more and more every year.

All of their positions result in misery - and....they won’t admit it - guilt.

Dems marry?

I thought they just formed pragmatic symbiotic alliances.

Libs are only happy when everyone else is miserable.
