Marriage can make you smarter

Wesley's picture

At times it may drive you crazy, but according to researchers, marriage can make you smarter.

...finding the right spouse could make you smarter. The married couple Warner Schaie and Sherry Willis, who have each done a great deal of important work in the areas of aging and cognition, say the following in their publication Mind Alert:

"In our study, we followed a number of married couples over a long period of time. It turns out that married couples’ intellectual performance converges over time: The spouse with lower cognitive functioning early in the marriage moves in the direction of the higher-functioning spouse, cognitively speaking."

So the "bottom line" they note is that you "should marry someone who’s smarter than you are."
