In a study of the relationship of styles of loving and marital happiness the Marital Adjustment Test (Short-Form) and the Styles of Loving survey were mailed or hand delivered to 200 married couples in Hopkinsville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Tennessee, as well as to couples in the southeastern USA which included parts of Florida and Mississippi. For the 110 returns (55 couples) deemed suitable, a significant positive Pearson correlation of .58 between the wives' Agape (giving) style of loving and their husbands' marital happiness was obtained. If a wife's style of loving was Mania (selfish), a negative correlation (–.34) was obtained with her husband's marital happiness, but no significant correlation was noted between the men's styles of loving and wives' marital happiness
