Each partner was given a choice: either solve a simple puzzle or compete for a prize. The researchers then noted each couple&#8217;s interactions with each other.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">They discovered that those with more encouraging and supportive spouses preferred to compete for the prize. Those whose spouses were discouraged chose the simple puzzle.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The research did not end here. When the researchers followed the same couples 6 months later, they found that generally couples who made the difficult choice were happier than couples who made the easier choice.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Brooke Feeney, professor of psychology in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who is the lead author of this study, says:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe found support for the notion that the choices people make at specific decision stages\u2014such as pursuing a job opportunity or seeking out new friends\u2014are crucial to their long-term well-being.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYour spouses can help you succeed by embracing life opportunities. Or they can hinder your development process by making you less likely to pursue growth opportunities. \u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"9068969645\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous-and-successful-couples-agree\"><\/span>Famous and successful couples agree.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage coverImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-5\/tb0lfk.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Perhaps the best proof of this is the successful and popular couples in today&#8217;s world. Barack and Michelle Obama, Mark Zuckerberg and Pricilla Chan are just some of these most iconic couples.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">They all come from different backgrounds and exist in different industries. But they all agree to something similar: that they wouldn&#8217;t be as successful without their partner as they are now.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Barack Obama has this to say about his wife:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cObviously I couldn&#8217;t have done anything I&#8217;ve done without Michelle. You&#8217;ve been asking me before about what keeps me sane, keeps my balance, helps me cope with pressure. Here is this young lady\u2026 I trust her in so many ways every day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Mark Zuckerberg said similar things in <a class=\"ceo-tooltip-top\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/sonya-mann\/zuckerberg-commencement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/sonya-mann\/zuckerberg-commencement.html\">his 2017 Harvard keynote<\/a> . Attributing his social work work to his wife, Priscilla, the Facebook founder says:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPriscilla is the most important person in my life, so she is the most important thing I have built in my time here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">However, these supportive spouses are not only women, of course. World-famous singer Beyonce expresses the support of her husband Jay-Z. According to Beyonce, Jay-Z helps and supports her on &#8220;many levels.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI wouldn&#8217;t be the woman I am today if I didn&#8217;t go to that man, that house.

And maybe some of you don&#8217;t want to get married.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">However, you cannot deny the wonderful things a supportive partner will bring into your life. Just having someone who believes in you and gives you the confidence to take bigger risks is truly invaluable.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">It not only makes you more successful, it also makes your achievements more valuable and meaningful. As they say, success feels less common if you have no one to share it with. It&#8217;s definitely not a must-have, but it can make something very special.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Maybe this is something you should always look for in your future spouses.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"><a class=\"ceo-tooltip-top\" href=\"https:\/\/ideapod.com\/the-secret-to-your-success-is-who-you-marry-new-study-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/ideapod.com\/the-secret-to-your-success-is-who-you-marry-new-study-shows\/\"><i>Source.<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you realize it or not, your success and outlook in life may also depend on the people around you.
