However, if men agree with everything their wives say, it will only make them miserable, experts have claimed. So miserable, in fact, that the study had to be stopped early because the men involved became so unhappy.
As part of the research, which has been published in the British Medical Journal, a group of married men had to agree with every opinion and request from their wives without any complaint – even if they believed their partner was wrong. Within 12 days, researchers from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, found that the men's quality of life fell from seven out of 10, to just three.
As a result, the "severe" drop was enough for researchers to halt the study.
Looking at the women, their happiness was found to increase if their husband did agree with everything they said, but only slightly – from eight to 8.5.
The study said: "It seems that being right is a cause of happiness, and agreeing with what one disagrees with is a cause of unhappiness.
"The results of this trial show that the availability of unbridled power adversely affects the quality of life of those on the receiving end.
"The study had to be stopped after 12 days as the result of a severe adverse outcome - this being that the male participant found the female participant became increasingly critical of everything he did.
"Many people in the world live as couples, and we believe that it could be harmful for one partner to always have to agree with the other.
"However, more research is needed to see whether our results hold if it is the male who is always right."
