Want to live happily ever after with your partner? Consider this: Both the number and severity of a couple's problems remain steady over time, according to a new study published in the Journal of Family Psychology. But what does worsen over time is the satisfaction level as those problems fail to be resolved, the researchers find. "It was kind of a surprise," the lead author tells Phys.org. "Our study disproves what the researchers thought, that if satisfaction is declining, problems must be increasing.

No, they don't. Marriages continue for decades, but if it is a bad marriage it is one of the saddest and worst things this life has to offer.

Rather silly article to mention that the researchers were 'surprised'
Of course, if problems aren't worked on so that resolutions can be found, they won't go away.
This article seems to focus on the idea that time alone will make problems vanish and/or that people think they'll become less important as one gets used to them.
It also states that couple were followed over the first 4 years of marriage.
That indicates that immaturity and naivete may have had a lot to do with how problems were....or weren't handled.
