A recent study has shown that when spouses love each other, children stay in school longer and marry later in life.
最近一项研究表明，夫妻彼此相爱，孩子的求学时间会更长，结婚时间也更晚。
The study, co-authored by researchers at the University of Michigan and McGill University in Quebec, uses data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study in Nepal.
这项研究是由Michigan大学和McGill大学的研究人员开始研发的，尼泊尔的奇特旺谷家庭研究提供了数据研究。
The survey launched in 1995, and collected information from 151 neighborhoods in the Western Chitwan Valley.
1995年这项调查开始了，在奇特旺河谷西部151个社区收集信息。
Married couples were interviewed simultaneously but separately, and were asked to assess the level of affection they had for their partner.
已婚夫妇同时接受了单独采访，而且被要求说明评估一下各自伴侣的爱的成程度。
The spouses answered they love their husband/wife very much, some, a little, or not at all.
配偶们回答，他们非常爱、有些爱、爱一点点或者根本不爱自己的丈夫或妻子。
The researchers then followed the children of these parents for 12 years to document their education and marital behaviors,
研究人员花了12年时间去跟踪调查这些父母的孩子，记录他们的教育和婚姻行为，
and found that the children of parents who reported they loved each other either "some" or "very much" stayed in school longer and married later.
研究发现，对于自称“有些”或“非常”爱对方的父母，他们的孩子求学时间更长，结婚时间更晚。

“家庭不仅仅是另一个机构。
It's not like a school or employer.
它不像学校或老板。
It is this place where we also have emotions and feelings," said lead author Sarah Brauner-Otto, director of the Centre on Population Dynamics at McGill University.
在这个地方，我们也有情感和感觉，” 研究报告的主要作者、麦吉尔大学人口动态中心主任萨拉.布劳纳.奥托说。
"Demonstrating and providing evidence that love, this emotional component of family, also has this long impact on children's lives is really important for understanding the depth of family influence on children."
“用证据证明爱(家庭的情感组成部分)对孩子的生活也有长期的影响，这对理解家庭对孩子的影响程度至关重要。”
