Wisconsin Has The Most Unhappy Couples In The U.S.

When you start a relationship, you never think about the things that could make something so loving turn into something so toxic and unhappy. Not all couples are as happy as they seem.

As a matter of fact, data can show couples in each state that are in the happiest relationships and those that aren't. Couples in Wisconsin and Iowa are the most unhappy couples you'll find in the U.S.

Finding The States With The Happiest & Least Happiest Couples

Determining happiness is tricky business. Psychologists seem to be experts in emotions so when a study from Counseling Psychology pops up to give us the answers, we take them for their word.

They examined the romantic lives of Americans, surveying nearly 2,000 individuals in relationships and scoring their responses to create a ranked list of the states with the happiest couples.

Counseling Psychology found that the average American still rates their happiness at 8 out of 10. Gen Z has the happiest couples with Boomers right behind them, followed by Millennials and Gen X.
