University of North Carolina and Justin Trudeau

Donald Baucom: For evidence, Gottman points to the work of Donald Baucom, a researcher at the University of North Carolina, who discovered that, contrary to popular belief, "people with the highest expectations for their marriage usually wind up with the highest quality marriages." This is excellent news for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose own marriage — not to his wife but to the Canadian people — is burdened with expectations higher than Mount Everest, according to Hamilton Spectator. Trudeau was elected prime minister a little more than a month ago on a platform of unparalleled positivity — and, let face it, good hair. But according to John M. Gottman, author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, this assumption is often incorrect. The night he won, many Canadians previously skeptical about the gaffe-prone leader were suddenly head over heels in love. The honeymoon is over. But that was then and this is now.
