There is a saying that men are from Mars, women are from Venus. That is why both are so different from each other, and that is why they attract to each other.

Many people believe that there would be more chance of attraction if a man and a woman are not like minded. But it is not all true. A new research has challenged this notion by suggesting that like minds have a much better chance of getting married and living happily ever after.

According to the study, couples stay together longer if they share some common ground. Researchers in Berlin looked at the 'big five' personality traits in over 6000 couples in Germany.

The analysis of the report found that people chose partners who were similar to themselves in terms of agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness, while extroversion and emotional stability were unrelated to partner choice.
