A multiplicity of studies – both formal and casual
survey’s have proven that ‘Equally yoked’ couples are
happier. A few of the reasons ‘Equally yoked couples
are happier than alternative coupleships are because:
First, Equally yoked couples decided to make a ‘choice’
to be ‘equally yoked’ and then they follow thru with
enjoining as such and keeping themselves together.
Second, Equally yoked couples – as individuals, make a
conscious choice to ‘be happy’ within their chosen/
preferred coupleship.
Thirdly, Equally yoked couples tend to focus on the
‘little things’ in their coupleship and life to ‘be happy.’a
