Is There Eye Rolling In Your Relationship?

Whether you roll your eyes at your fiancé, or he rolls his at you, you should read this excerpt from Tara Parker Pope’s wonderful book, For Better: The Science of a Good Marriage.

Eye rolling is a sign that one person feels contempt for the other, and that is a predictor of divorce:

Researchers say that one of the clearest signals of a problem in your relationship is when your partner rolls his or her eyes in reaction to something you've said or done. Eye rolling is often accompanied by a smile and laughter, so it doesn't always come across as negative. But eye rolling is a painfully obvious sign of contempt, and it's a powerful predictor that your relationship is in serious trouble.

Click here to link to Google Books for the rest of the chapter, including a quiz and discussion of what facial expressions are indicators that your relationship is in good shape. It's not all doom and gloom, and this book explores the current scientific research of marriage.
