The phrase 'happy wife, happy life' might have some science behind it.
Researchers from the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow, Russia found men who have marriage satisfaction experience less burnout as employees.
The team determined that a successful career becomes their identity for men, adding pressure to their lives, but having support at home elevates burnout.
Burnout causes significant mental fatigue and manifests through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a decline in personal fulfillment.
The findings also suggested that men who experience greater professional success tend to have higher relationship satisfaction levels.
The study found that as the level of marital satisfaction increases, the risk of burnout decreases, and this correlation is more pronounced in men
A separate report found that more than half of American workers experience at least moderate levels of burnout.
Meanwhile, according to the CDC, the number of marriages in the US was at its lowest point for 20 years in 2020.
The new study was conducted using an online survey with 120 female and 83 male employees of Russian business
