Marriage can be a tough thing. Sometimes, you rack your brain trying to figure out how to make it work. Well, the answer is in the bottle.

I'm not going to tell you that you HAVE to go on a date with your husband or wife this weekend and both get blackout drunk . . . but it might just SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE.

A new study out of the University of Michigan found that couples who get drunk together stay together.

Those couples have happier marriages than couples where only one person drinks . . . OR couples where neither person drinks.

The researchers say it's probably because drinking together means you're spending time together having fun . . . and that's one of the biggest keys to a happy marriage.

Now, there IS one catch.  If one of you or both of you abuse alcohol, it ISN'T good if you drink together . . . and the study found drinking will make your relationship worse. (Next Shark)
