5 golden ratios for a good couple

There is a golden ratio for body shape, and the same goes for marriage. Differences in height, age, and even monthly salary may become factors that affect how two people get along. Although the golden ratios derived from the following studies are not applicable to everyone, we can use them as a reference.

12 cm height difference

This is the optimal height difference between men and women. It is the most harmonious difference whether holding hands, hugging, or kissing. If a boy is too short, girls will find him boring, and if he is too tall, he will be out of reach.

Comment: Most girls have a strong desire to be protected and hope that their male partner is taller than themselves so that they feel more secure. In fact, men are generally taller than women, but if they are more than 10 centimeters taller, the visual effect will be more obvious, and the petiteness of the girl and the strength of the boy can be revealed. This gap can make the gender roles of both parties more distinct, that is, men are more like men and women are more like women. Of course, too much is as bad as too little. If it is too high, it will not be practical. The number 12 cm simply represents an ideal value for the height difference between many couples, and represents the desire of most women to be cared for.

3 years age difference

Girls mature earlier than boys, so if two people want to get along peacefully and have similar mental ages, when the girl is still in college, the boy has already started working; by the time the girl graduates, the boy has become quite stable and it is natural for him to start a family.

Comment: Girls do develop their intelligence and emotions two or three years earlier than boys. The two or three year difference basically ensures that boys and girls are matched in psychological maturity. But this is not always true. During adolescence, girls' psychological development is earlier than boys', but when they reach their twenties and thirties, the psychological age of boys and girls is basically on par with each other. Boys are older than girls, which can give girls reasons to rely on boys and also give boys a sense of responsibility to care for girls.

1.5 times the monthly salary difference

A survey shows that when the husband's salary is 1.5 times that of his wife, the family can run smoothly.

Comment: Nowadays, both men and women make economic contributions to the family, but influenced by the traditional view that "men work outside and women work inside", men's economic responsibilities seem to be greater. The wife has financial expectations of her husband, but she also does not want to put too much psychological pressure on him. "1.5 times" is just right, not more, not less, taking into account the man's ability and face, while satisfying the woman's sense of security. Of course, this number is also an ideal value. If men's abilities allow, women would prefer the ratio to be higher.

Keep a bowl of soup distance from your parents

Nowadays, young couples are reluctant to live with their elders, but they should still take care of their parents if they have problems occasionally. This distance should be like children making a bowl of soup and bringing it to their parents so they can drink it while it’s hot.

Comment: Today's young people are more self-centered, pay more attention to the quality of life, are unwilling to compromise themselves, and are willing to take responsibility. But given the reality of high housing prices, it is difficult to choose a place to live. It seems difficult for a young couple to be relatively independent from their parents yet be able to meet them at any time. But this kind of intelligence and filial piety are worthy of recognition.

The privacy gap of leaving half a spoonful of sugar

Love is hard to come by, we need to leave some space for each other to breathe.

Comment: Although the relationship between husband and wife is close, there should also be "space" between them. In this way, you can maintain your independence and still appreciate your loved one.
