However, a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.In total, 123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying, when they were bringing up babies, once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61, when almost all had “empty nests”Although not all said they were happier in general, most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home. Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together, but because they were able to enjoy each others company more.One of the participants in the study, which is published in the journal Psychological Science，said，“Once the kids grow up. theres some of that stress removed. that responsibility removed, so things are a little more relaxed.”Psychologist Sara Gorchoff, who carried out the investigation, said, “The takehome message for couples with young children ishang in there”. Her coauthor Oliver John added：“Dont wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”However, Dr Dorothy Rowe, from the British Psychological Society, said the effects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parentsrelationship with their children. “If youre just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life, then of course youll be pleased to see them go，” she said，“But if youve built your life around your children youll be terribly lonely. For some parents, their world falls apart when their children leave.”9It is commonly believed that_.Amarriages improve after children leave homeBan “empty nest” is always a happy thingCparentsrelationships may suffer once their young grow up and move outDparents will be pleased after their children leave home10When did many couples feel happier according to the study?A.
